Lyrics

A long long time ago back when I was 4 years old
sittin' on my Grandpa's knee in that old ford
flyin' down that old dirt road I didn't know how fast it would go
and I didn't care, the wind was blowing in my hair
I didn't know it at the time, but man I sure know it now

Those were the days, those were the times
the memories made that changed our lives
runnin' around I can hear it now
just what they'd say and I believe it
cuz those were the days

I remember runnin' round town, red to red light and burning it down
we'd drive to the end of the strip and then turn around
well the boys and me put many a mile, checking out the girls and flashing a smile
as we drove away I wish we would've gotten their names
we didn't know it at the time but man we sure know it now

Those were the days, those were the times
the memories made that changed our lives
runnin' around I can hear it now
just what they'd say and I believe it
cuz those were the days

I took me a while but I realize
as I look into my sons eyes.

These are the days these are the times
the memories made that'll change his life
Runnin' around boy can you here me now
what I've been saying,
I hope you believe it
cuz' these are the days
I hope you believe it
these are the days

not that long ago my little boy was 4 years old
