Well I remember when I was just children
A time when people used to treat their neighbor like a fellow man
Them all day singin' and them big prayer meetings
When a man was proud to walk up and shake on his neighbor's hand
Let's talk about the good times
Talk about the good times
If you ever needed help a friend was there
Now some good neighbor would help lift your burden
And the simple joys of life a friend would share
But the times are hard and the people are changin'
Today most folks couldn't tell you who their next door neighbors are
All the guns are loaded, the front doors are closed
Ain't this old world takin' hate and fear just a little too far
Let's talk about the good times
Let's talk about the good times
Wish I could just go back to the days I'm a speakin' of
When a friend would meet you and a smile would greet you
What this old world needs now is a more old fashioned love
ย
My old granddaddy, God rest his soul
Now we had a big long talk together the day he died
He said, "Son this world is so full of hate and venom
That I can't wait to leave this old place and rest on the other side"
Lord you talk about a good time
Lord we're gonna have a good time
I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good old days
Have a big hand shakin', sit and talk together
Sit down by River Jordan and sing our cares away
Lord we're gonna have a good time
Let's talk about a good time
I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good old days
Have a big hand shakin', sit and talk together
Sit down by River Jordan and sing our cares away
Let's talk about a good time
We're gonna have a good time
I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good old days
