Oh, sometimes I think back to when I was younger
Life was so much simpler then
Dad would be up at dawn, he'd be watering the lawn
Or maybe going fishing again
Oh, and mom would be fixing up something in the kitchen
Fresh biscuits or hot apple pie
And I'd spend all day long in the basement
Torturing rats with a hacksaw, and pulling the wings off of flies
Those were the good old days
Those were the good old days
The years go by, but the memory stays
And those were the good old days
I can still remember good old Mr. Fender
Who ran the corner grocery store
Oh, he'd stroll down the aisle with a big friendly smile
And he'd say, "Howdy," when you walked in the door
Always treated me nice, gave me kindly advice
I don't know why I set fire to his place
Oh, I'll never forget the day I bashed in his head
Well, you should've seen the look on his face
Let me tell ya now
Those were the good old days
Those were the good old days
The years go by, but the memory stays
And those were the good old days
Do you remember sweet Michelle (ooh)
She was my high school romance
She was fun to talk to and nice to smell (ooh)
So I took her to the homecoming dance
Then I tied her to a chair, and I shaved off all her hair
And I left her in the desert all alone
Well, sometimes in my dreams, I can still hear the screams
Oh, I wonder if she ever made it home
I tell ya
Those were the good old days
Those were the good old days
The years go by, but the memory stays (ooh)
And those were the good old days
Let me tell ya, buddy
Those were the good old days
Those were the good old days
The years go by, but the memory stays (ooh)
And those were the good old days
