I wish this car wasn't so rusted out
And I had more money for a bigger house
And my job didn't keep on bringing me down
'Cause right now
I'm still living in my hometown
Still trying to figure out what life's about
I guess I thought I'd be somewhere else by now
Momma still cooks better than I can
Can't change the oil like my ol' man
Might not be where I wanna be just yet
But what if these are the good ol' days
Funny how you chase what you wished away
I didn't know it then but I think I see it now
What everyones been talking about
I been waiting on things to change
But what if these are the good ol' days
Yeah what if these are the good ol' days
Your best friends laugh and your mom's perfume
And the smell of your grandma's living room
The kinda thing you don't wanna lose
When you got tunnel vision you tend to miss it
You can't see all the good that you're given
You know it's true
But what if these are the good ol' days
Funny how you chase what you wished away
I didn't know it then but I think I see it now
What everyone's been talking about
I been waiting on things to change
But what if these are the good ol' days
Yeah what if these are the good ol' days
What if that first kiss
That goodbye
That conversation
Was the last time
If you ain't looking it'll fly on by
But what if these are the good ol' days
I didn't know it then but I think I see it now
What everyone's been talking about
I been waiting on things to change
But what if these are the good ol' days
Yeah what if these are the good ol' days
