Good Old Days Lyrics - Singles - Owsley

I went back home the other day 

To see some old friends that I used to know 

It was strange to see what all had changed 

But just like me my hometown had to grow 

On lazy Sunday afternoons 

We used to drive around the neighborhood 

But as I look around I see 

That nothing really looks the way it should 

There's a parking lot where the church used to be 

And the old town drunk changed his ways 

Still my mind goes wandering down memory lane 

Looking 'round for the good old days 

My high-school sweetheart's married off 

With two kids and another on the way 

And my coach, I hardly recognized 

His thick black hair has slowly turned to gray 

All the debutantes and the homecoming queen 

Have taken kids on to raise 

Still my mind goes wandering down memory lane 

Looking 'round for the good old days 

When I find myself romancing now 

Of the way that it used to be 

I can't help thinking someday 

That it's coming back to me 

But I never was the kind 

To see the forest for the trees 

Looking back on yesterday 

Never was my favorite thing to do 

But that's okay, it's just as well 

It's seems as though there's less to hold on to 

There's a parking lot where the church used to be 

And the old town drunk changed his ways 

Still my mind goes wandering down memory lane 

Well I hope it's a passing phase, oh yeah 

Looking back at the good old days
