John Paul White The Good Old Days Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's something going down
In this simple place I grew up in
Boots are on the ground
Singing, "Happy days are here again"

There's something in the air
The deaf can hear, the blind can see
Nostalgia everywhere
Saying, "Let's get back to how it used to be"

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Before we head down that road
Tell me something I don't know

[Chorus]
Oh what's so good about the good old days?
Yeah what's so good about the good old days?

[Verse 2]
It's taken oh so long
For the world to start to understand
The true and equal worth
Of every woman and every man

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We've got so very far to go
So tell me something I don't know

[Chorus]
Oh what's so good about the good old days?
Yeah what's so good about the good old days?

[Verse 3]
There's something going down
In this simple place I grew up in
It's burning to the ground
And it will never be the same again

[Pre-Chorus 3]
The past is ash and dust
Our best days are in front of us

[Chorus]
Oh what's so good about the good old days?
Yeah what's so good about the good old days?
Oh what's so good about the good old days?
Yeah what's so good about the good old days?
