Story Behind The Song
My wife and I were just talking about how life has changed over time and one of us said "Remember When" and I said that's a song and I wrote it.
It is meant to be light hearted,with a little political twist.

Lyrics
Remember When
I was walking in the park today and I met a little man
We got to talking about the world , things so hard to understand
I guessed that he was 85 and I was 24
But what we had in common, was getting less and paying more.
Remember when gasoline was just a buck
Remember when we could afford a car and truck
Remember when wives didn't have to work
They stayed at home and raised the kids
And read their steamy book.
I guess I should not expect things to stay the same
I know were always wanting more but we don't want to change
My friend here worked dusk till dawn, I'm always gone by three
I hate to pay to fill my tires , they use to get air free
Remember when gasoline was just a buck
Remember when we could afford a car and truck
Remember when wives didn't have to work
They stayed at home a raised the kids
And read their steamy book.
Well i think I'll call the White House get my name up on the list
I'll tell the boys in Congress that I'm just as good a risk
When I go to get my bailout, I'll have to take the truck
Cause diesel fuel is cheaper and the Buicks up on blocks
Remember when gasoline was just a buck
Remember when we could afford a car and truck
Remember when wives didn't have to work
They stayed at home a raised the kids
And read their steamy book.
