The Old Days
I remember a time when things were simple
Music could always cheer me up from a bad mood
Friends were the only entertainment I needed on a summer afternoon
Swimming pools
Acoustic guitars
Relaxing to the sounds of Hyrule on the roof of my house
Jamming out and writing songs in a shed at the ranch
Being intimidated by a bull and jumping the fence in fear
When my best friend was always there for a good laugh
Or in the hard times, a helping hand
I wish everything could go back to those days
When nothing mattered but music and friends
When you didn’t have to worry about getting killed walking down the street
When there wasn’t a threat of someone from another country attacking you
When you didn’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing
Because everyone took things with a light heart
When money wasn’t a problem
When depression wasn’t there
Life was so much better back then
Why did it have to change?
