We were wild and young and willing, to give up anything it took
|
To get to where we were going, you could read us like a book
|
Our nights were hot, filled with a lot, of lovers and dreams and songs
|
And mornings mostly found us in places we did not belong
|
|
But those were the days (those were the days)
|
Man those were the days (those were the days)
|
We listened to the songs Bob Dylan wrote
|
We sat there stoned and amazed
|
We forgot to eat, we forgot to sleep
|
Searching for the perfect line
|
So here's to the good old days, baby, one more time
|
|
I remember Jimmy saying, if he had two blues and a beer
|
He might get some sleep tonight, give his head a chance to clear
|
I reminded him of an old girlfriend singing at a bar called Slim's
|
And I recall him doing lot's of things that night,
|
But sleeping wasn't one of them
|
|
But those were the days (those were the days)
|
Man those were the days (those were the days)
|
We learned all the songs the Beatles sang
|
We even tried Purple Haze
|
We forgot to eat, we forgot to sleep
|
Searching for the perfect rhyme
|
So here's to the good old days, baby, one more time
|
|
We were wild and young and willing, we are still are in some ways
|
Every now and then we still have one of them good old days
|
And it makes me proud when I think out loud
|
About lovers and dreams and songs
|
And how it always kept me going and the best ones are never gone
|
|
But those were the days (those were the days)
|
Man those were the days (those were the days)
|
We learned all the songs by Hank and Lefty
|
There must have been a thousand ways
|
We forgot to eat, we forgot to sleep
|
And all but the very best lines
|
And even a few of those from time to time
|
|
But those were the days (those were the days)
|
Man those were the days (those were the days)
|
So here's to the good old days, baby, one more time
|
