Talk About The Good Times Lyrics - Elvis Presley

Well I remember when I was as children 

The time the people used to treat the neighbor like a fellow man 

And all their singin' and big prayer meetin's 

When a man was proud to walk up and shake his neighbors hand 

Oh you talk about the good times, 

Talk about the good times 

Oh if you ever needed help a friend was there 

Some good neighbor 

Help lift your burden 

Mmm, and the simple joys of life a friend would share 

Times are harder and the people are changin' 

Now most folks couldn't tell you who their neighbors are 

All their guns are loaded, the front doors are bolted 

Ain't this ol' world takin' hate and fear just a little too far

Oh you talk about the good times, 

Talk about the good times 

I wish I could go back to the days I'm speakin of 

When a friend would meet you 

And a smile would greet you 

What this ol' world needs now is a little old fashioned love 

My granddaddy God rest his soul now 

Well we had a big long talk together the day he died 

Said son this world is full of hate and venom 

An' I can't wait to leave this ol' place and rest on the other side 

Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times 

Talk about the good times 

I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol' days 

We'll have a big hand shakin' 

An' sit and talk together 

Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away

Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times 

Talk about the good times

We'll have a big hand shakin' 

An' sit and talk together 

Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away
