He remembered 1965
Said it was good to be alive
He was in a cotton field
Working 'til the sun no longer shined
Yeah so damn weathered with a smile
Oh he sat glowing like a child
Memories came flying back
Like the stars that filled his eyes
Whoa whoa
Ain't it a wonderful thing
Everybody's different
But the feeling's still the same
Man I'm looking forward
To looking back on things
I haven't even gotten to
My good ole days
He saw the world once in his time
Back before he lost his sight
He'd sit in that easy chair
And paint the picture so damn bright
Yeah same ole stories same ole end
I always had an ear to lend
Always enlightened by
A life that's been well lived
Whoa whoa
Ain't it a wonderful thing
Everybody's different
But the feeling's still the same
Man I'm looking forward
To looking back on things
I haven't even gotten to
My good ole days
As I get a little bit older
I understand a little bit more
Everything our parents always told us
Every passing day makes more sense than that before
Whoa whoa
Ain't it a wonderful thing
Everybody's different
But the feelings still the same
Man I'm looking forward
To looking back on things
Whoa whoa
Ain't it a wonderful thing
Yeah everybody's different
But the feelings still the same
Man I'm looking forward
To looking back on things
I haven't even gotten to
My good ole days
I haven't even gotten to
My good ole days
