"Back In The Goodle Days" lyrics

"Back In The Goodle Days"

One day about twenty-five years from now
When we've all grown old from a-wondering how
Oh, we'll all sit down at the city dump
And talk about the Goodle Days

Oh, you'll pass the joint and I'll pass the wine
And anything good from a-down the line
A lot of good things went down one time
Back in the Goodle Days

And the Good Old Days are past and gone
A lot of good people have done gone on
That's my life when I sing this song about
Back in the Goodle Days

Sometimes I get to thinkin' that we're almost done
And there ain't nothin' left that we can figure out
And I guess it must have seemed a lot more like that
Back in the Goodle Days

But when ya gotta go, ya gotta go
There's always somebody don'tcha know
A-hangin' round a-sayin' "Well, I told you so"
Back in the Goodle Days

And the Good Old Days are past and gone
A lot of good people have done gone on
That's my life when I sing this song about
Back in the Goodle Days

Oh, we'll all join hands and we'll gather round
When that old guitar starts to make that sound
A lot of good things went down downtown
Back in the Goodle Days

Squeezin' love with the people that we hadn't even met
Out for anything that we could get
Oh, we did it then and we'll do it yet
Back in the Goodle Days

And the Good Old Days are past and gone
A lot of good people have done gone on
That's my life when I sing this song about
Back in the Goodle Days
