The Good Old Days

Grandpa, tell me about the good old days I want to hear of your younger ways When there was no T.V. and there were no cars When at night you looked up and could count the stars About how you skipped stones across the lake With no video games to entertain What's all this about fun being free? All this old I hear sure is new to me Did people really sit and talk? And where they went did they actually walk? How did you survive without a microwave? I bet cooking then must have taken days You say your parents let you just run about Were they not afraid you would be kidnapped? And you didn't come home till dinner time? Grandpa to me that just doesn't seem right Did Moms and Dads really stay together like they promised, till death do us part? Cause they don't do that that much anymore and it can really mess up some hearts Did you talk much with your neighbors even though you lived miles apart? Cause mine are living right next door and I don't even know who they are You say there weren't warning labels on everything How in the world did you feel safe back then And without a cell phone in your hand How did you keep up with all your friends Grandpa, did you not ever get bored Chasing down the wind in the great outdoors And you say you had everything that you could need All this old I hear sure is new to me
