Like They Use To

Got a DVD of the Honeymooners And one of the Old Jack Benny Show Watched The Quiet Man with John Wayne Where did all the morals go Violence and garbage all over the TV Violence and garbage on the news too Nothing of value anymore They don’t make them like they use to Got in my car and noticed the similarities Most of the cars look the same Thought about my 56 Bel Air Driving was a different game All the models had their own style AM radio that we’d cruise to Something special under the hood They don’t build them like they use to Thought about my old high school Attending pep rallies before the big one Everyone showed up to cheer Every body having fun There were rules we had to follow We couldn’t do whatever we choose to School was different in those days They don’t teach them like they use to I see neighbors building higher fences Live next door and don’t know each other We lived in an ally full of kids Treated each like a sister or brother Neighbors visited without knocking Never needed an excuse to Just drop in to shoot the breeze They don’t have neighbors like they use to.
