lyrics

Had to sell the old ford when my eyesight started going
Now I catch the bus to work at sunrise every morning
My friends retired poolside playing game of cards
But I’m still flippin flapjacks the hours long & hard
In the golden years no it wasn’t supposed to be this way
I put on my best suit to go sit in the park
& think about them good old days
& think about them good old days

When my wife passed away the bankers made their calls
Sent the Sheriff down to storm my castle walls
I raised up the white flag high in surrender defeat
Now my kingdom spans only four hundred square feet
In the golden years no it wasn’t supposed to be this way
I put on my best suit to go sit in the park
& think about them good old days
& think about them good old days

I come here every Sunday rain or shine or snow
Feeding all the pigeons remembering long ago
When life was a picture postcard nice enough to make me weep
Now I pray the darkness will take me while I sleep
In the golden years no it wasn’t supposed to be this way
I put on my best suit to go sit in the park
& think about them good old days
I put on my best suit to go sit in the park
& think about them good old days
Them good old days
Them good old days
