Lyrics
THE GOOD OLD DAYS
Music and Words by Kim York
In a beer joint
At the edge of the highway
The old men belly up to the bar
And talk of the old days
The good old golden days
When life was better by far
And I sit alone in the corner
And think of the truth spoken here
What we had together
I thought was forever
Where did it all disappear
Where have the good old days gone?
Where is the time of my life?
Where are the good times I held in my hand?
Gone, like a thief in the night
Lost in the cold glow of neon
Adrift in a world without love
Dreaming she?d ever
Love me forever
What the hell was I thinking of
Where have the good old days gone?
Where is the time of my life?
Where are the good times I held in my hand?
Gone, like a thief in the night
