Way Back When

The good old days was when we were kids Living free and having fun Not a care in the world We made up our own games to play Like hop-scotch, jump rope, tag Red light even hide and seek Kids were safe playing outside, as long as they played in front of their door The good old days was when we could Go to bed and leave your doors unlock Because the neighborhoods looked out And had each other’s back There was always one house Where everyone love to hang out The good old days was, when the music was hot It was smooth R & B, and cool slow jams And sitting on your front porch was Where the party was, cook-outs Gambling, playing board games, and cards It was the bomb, and also downing a few cold ones With the music playing loud, the food and good company It was more fun back in the good old days JANUARY 12, 2021
