Good Old Days

(Chorus - jo.) x2
We used to sit up on the chimney tops
Not a care in the world we got
Used to dream of writing diddy bops
Just take me back to the good old days

(Verse 1 - The Blue)
Summer days in my home town, those times were simple
Got some old lost friendships I wish I could rekindle
I was young, not a care on this rock
Took for granted just how easy I'd got it (take me back, man)
My uncle put me on Wyclef and the Fresh Prince
And I ain't been able to get music out of my head since
I fell in love with the vinyl and how the deck spins
And you could put that summer down on the list of my blessings
Not the finished article, far from a masterpiece
Days when we rapped for fun and didn't worry about packing seats
Back when just being me was all I was glad to be
But some days, I just feel like this life here is just passing me by
I wish somebody had told us
To cherish those closest and bottle those moments
I wish I'd told some of my friends I've got their backs if things were ever getting tough
We don't talk now, they say it's just all part of growing up, c’mon

(Chorus - jo.) x2
We used to sit up on the chimney tops
Not a care in the world we got
Used to dream of writing diddy bops
Just take me back to the good old days

(Verse 2 - Thomas Oldreive)
Riding down the highway with my windows down because my AC broke
And those work emails, yeah, they ain’t no joke
I know this ain’t the perfect situation
But I know that I can make it
Yeah, I know that things could be worse
Come on baby, go and open up your purse
I’ll put my ID inside
She on the passenger side
With the boys in the back
Reminiscing while I’m driving
Knowing I want to be back
Where I am right now
I can’t allow
Myself to slack or take a bow
Front to back, I’ll make a vow tonight
Sit and yack or crease my brow
‘Cause right now, ‘cause right now
Are the good old days passing me by
I know I should graze, well, I’ll give it a try
Enjoy the time I have and make some memories
I can’t let life’s complications get the best of me, yeah

(Chorus - jo.) x2
We used to sit up on the chimney tops
Not a care in the world we got
Used to dream of writing diddy bops
Just take me back to the good old days

(Verse 3 - The Blue)
You play every note like you know these tunes are a blessing
It was seldom I saw you stressing
You could live up in the moment in the here and now
I was always busy trying to get people to check us out (like come to the show)
One of the best people I know
Excited to see the progress and the distance you'd go
You kept getting even better after every show
I took pride in every second of just watching you grow (crazy)
We used to say that we should catch up quick
Reminisce on all the good times and days we miss
But life gets in the way, just stay blessed
We always knew the weather, man, with all of these rain checks
Remember when we used to dream of collabs, hop off the stage and just laugh
Any day we'll push these shows to every spot on the map
We used to talk about going so far
I just wish you weren't as far as you are
Brother, Godspeed

(Chorus - jo.) x2
We used to sit up on the chimney tops
Not a care in the world we got
Used to dream of writing diddy bops
Just take me back to the good old days
