[00:15.36]Oh some times i think back to when i was younger
[00:19.38]Life was so much simpler then
[00:23.31]Dad would be up at dawn
[00:25.17]He'd be watering the lawn
[00:27.39]Or maybe going fishing again
[00:31.14]Oh and mom would be fixing up something in the kitchen
[00:35.46]Fresh biscuits or hot apple pie
[00:38.97]And i'd spend all day long in the basement
[00:42.36]Torturing rats with a hack-saw
[00:45.48]And pulling the wings off of flies
[00:48.12]Those were the good old days
[00:49.17]Those were the good old days
[00:55.23]The years go by but the memory stays
[00:59.25]And those were the good old days
[01:02.88]I can still remember good old mr. fender
[01:07.08]Who ran the corner grocery store
[01:10.62]Oh, he'd strolled down the aisle with a big friendly smile
[01:14.70]And he'd say 'howdy' when you walked in the door
[01:18.51]Always treated me nice, gave me kindly advice
[01:22.47]I don't know why i set fire to his place
[01:26.46]Oh i'll never forget the day i bashed in his head
[01:30.48]Well you should've seen the look on his face
[01:33.51]Let me tell ya now
[01:36.66]Those were the good old days
[01:38.88]Those were the good old days
[01:42.69]The years go by but the memory stays
[01:46.68]And those were the good old days
[02:06.90]Do you remember sweet michelle
[02:09.81]She was my high school romance
[02:14.94]She was fun to talk to and nice to smell
[02:17.85]So i took her to the homecoming dance
[02:21.66]Then i tied her to a chair and i shaved off all her hair
[02:25.92]And i left her in the desert all alone
[02:29.55]Well sometimes in my dreams
[02:31.74]I can still hear the screams
[02:33.84]Oh i wonder if she ever made it home
[02:37.59]I tell ya
[02:38.82]Those were the good old days
[02:42.18]Those were the good old days
[02:46.20]The years go by but the memory stays
[02:49.89]And those were the good old days
[02:52.56]Let me tell ya buddy
[02:55.68]Those were the good old days
[02:57.93]Those were the good old days
[03:02.79]The years go by but the memory stays
[03:07.71]And those were the good old days
