Those Were the Days
with muse in hand
I'll take you on a walk to remember
do you remember
when you used to be able to
keep your windows and doors unlocked
and got to enjoy the night breeze's while you slept
do you remember
when you were able to
walk to your local corner store
and not get jacked
do you remember
when soda and cigarettes
were 50 cents a pack and 25 cents a can
and suddenly you had friends
you've never knew you had before
do you remember
when you could ride a city bus for a dime
and go downtown and look at christmas displays
without getting knocked off feet
do you remember
when gas was only a nickle a gallon
so family's could take a nice
summer vaction without noise and traffic
do you remember
when kids walked to school safely
and never had to worry
who was lurking behind them
do you remember
sitting at the soda shopp
just dancing and twisting
the night away without having rumbles
do you remember
when boys were boys
and girls were girls
well on this walk to remember
I'm sure there still out there
but got lost along the way
