I saw an ol' friend on the holidays
One I hadn't seen in years
We both talked about the memories
All the laughs and all the tears
And now it all feels like so long ago
Another lifetime in the past
When we thought we had it figured out
But damn, those good times never last
Lookin' back
At what we call the good ol' days
Watchin' time keep marchin' on
I wish I'd known
I was livin' in the good ol' days
Before those good ol' days were gone
Hmmm
Today a song came on the radio
Made me think of my ex-wife
The one we danced to on our wedding day
When I promised her my life
Now it all feels like so long ago
Another lifetime in the past
When we thought we were on top of the world
But it was just an hourglass
Lookin' back
At what we call the good ol' days
Watchin' time keep marchin' on
I wish I'd known
I was livin' in the good ol' days
Before those good ol' days were gone
Now I sit here with this ol' guitar
Thinkin' 'bout the life I lead
I'm so thankful for those memories
And all the good times in between
Yeah
Lookin' back
At what we call the good ol' days
Watchin' time keep marchin' on
I wish I'd known
I was livin' in the good ol' days
Before those good ol' days were gone
Hmmm
