Kids these days wouldn't understand
Twenty years ago
When I was only ten
Gasoline was cheap
And old scamp was my best friend
My swimming pool was a fishing hole
Off a red dirt path
Kids these days wouldn't understand
Twenty years ago
A pledge and a prayer
Were still in the classroom
Now it seems nobody cares
Third base with your sweetheart
Was only holding hands
Kids these days wouldn't understand
Back then I never thought
That I'd be thinking this
The things I took for granted
Were the things that I would miss
Youth is like an hour-glass
That just runs out of sand
Kids these days wouldn't understand
Twenty years ago
It was a simpler life
Three channels on the TV
They were fuzzy most the time
We wore jeans that fit us
Levi was the brand
Kids these days wouldn't understand
Twenty years ago
Sunday after church
It was dinner at my Granny's
The only day nobody worked
Fried chicken, beans, and okra
Came right off Grampa's land
Kids these days wouldn't understand
Back then I never thought
That I'd be thinking this
The things I took for granted
Were the things that I would miss
Youth is like an hour-glass
That just runs out of sand
Kids these days wouldn't understand
The same thing that I'm talking 'bout today
Twenty years from now, I bet our kids will say
Back then I never thought
That I'd be thinking this
The things I took for granted
Were the things that I would miss
Youth is like an hour-glass
That just runs out of sand
Kids these days wouldn't understand
Kids these days wouldn't understand
