about

A song I wrote when I was 22 about how much better things were when I was 12.

lyrics

Do you remember walking, to get where you wanted to go
Bowling alleys and shopping malls, and late night picture shows
Saving up 5 dollars for a record and a coke
The bad taste of your first beer, and the birth of video

Hangin' around stayin' up all night with-a no real place to be
Smoking in the woods out back so no one else could see
The ties were so much better between Dougie, Scott, and Ray
Things were so much easier - Back in the day

Do you remember 4 years old fired up to go to school
G.I. Joes and BB Guns, bee stings and swimming pools
The wonder and excitement of the first years fallen snow
the legendary MC5, Kiss and the Ramones

Where have all the friendships gone, the slinky and moon boots
What about Atari and the need for trendy shoes
The value of the dollar was much longer than they say
Things were so much easier - Back in the Day -Back in the Day

I don't care for what the kids now play
Cause radio's not what it used to be
The years are getting longer, the cold keeps getting stronger,
and no one seems to care about anything (Repeat after solo)

The Bay City Rollers have gone away
Carson has nothing more to say
God I wish and long to be again
Back in the Day
....now take me back
