BACK IN THE DAY

When a man was a man and his word was true

And your problems could be fixed with a beer or two

There wasn't so much hate on the nightly news

Yeah, lately I've been thinkin' that we could use, a little more

Back, back in the day

When the world didn't seem so crazy

I'm just trying to say

Some things don't need changin'

From where I stand, it ain't workin'

Everybody's hurtin', think it's time we turn it

Back, back in the day

Oh, when you waved to a stranger and your neighbour was a friend

And a deal would be done with the shake of a hand

And a bonfire night was a weekend's plan

Oh, lately I've been wishin' we could go back then ...

Oh, back, back in the day

When the world didn't seem so crazy

I'm just trying to say

Some things don't need changin'

From where I stand, it ain't workin'

Everybody's hurtin', think it's time we turn it

Back, back in the day

Oh, let's take it back

Oh, take it back

Oh, I'm just looking for a world where my kids

Can grow up wild and free, like I did

Back, back in the day

Oh, back in the day

Man, I wish I could go

Back, back in the day

When the world didn't seem so crazy

I'm just trying to say

Some things don't need changin'

From where I stand, it ain't workin'

Everybody's hurtin', think it's time we turn it

Back, back in the day

Oh, take me back

Hey, hey

Hey, take me back

Yeah, take me back
