Back In The Day

 

Brand new cars with old car looks

Smoother and just as fast

Seems more and more

I hear talk of the past

 

“Back in the day”

Now a familiar phrase

A time when life was slower paced

Back in the good old days

 

Those oldies but goodies

Still on the radio

Nostalgia is alive and well

Even reruns of popular TV shows

 

They say it’s not good to live in the past

But with old photographs we reminisce

Days when we were younger

People, places, and pets we all miss

 

Me, I think it couldn’t be more natural

Than to think back to days gone by

It gives you something to reflect on

The meaning of life and why

 

How can you know where you’re going

If you know not where you’ve been

Experiences of life

Between you, family, and friends

 

Yes, living was different as I recall

Not always a better way

Just, different

Back in the day
