Lyrics
Back in the Day
©Greg Lambert 2010
We go back a long, long way
To another time; another place
Long before everything turned gray
Back in the day
Our TV's were black and white
Wrong was wrong, right was right
We left our doors unlocked at night
Back in the day
Chorus
We had more time to play
Long drives on Sunday
In our schools we could pray
Back in the day
We go back to another time
Yours was yours, mine was mine
We took home more of our pay
Back in the day
Chorus
We go back a long, long way
To another time, another place
We moved fast at a slower pace
Back in the day
