Remember When Songtext
von Danny Vaughn

Another Saturday night that ended too soon
Another bad date left her crying in her bedroom
He never once listened to a word she said
He was all hands and eyes and bad lines instead
Same old story again
So many males and so few men

Tell me where did all the gentlemen go?
Fred Astaire and Joe DiMaggio
If we only knew now what we knew then
But all we can do is remember when


There′s a page in our story where nobody goes
There's some old treaty paper blowing down a dirt road
The great white fathers, "Don′t you worry," they said
"There will be justice for all, every mouth will be fed."
All those promises they said
Don't sound like life on the rails

Are there no more men of honour out there?
Frank Fools Crow and Luther Standing Bear
We try to live by the good our hearts intend
But all we can do is remember when

I turned on my radio to help me get along
I heard a thousand commercials and maybe one song
I heard teenybopper bubblegum, I heard anger and grief
But I never heard anything give me hope or belief
Who put all the visionaries down?
Did they pack up their dreams and get out of town?

Tell me when our priorities went to hell?
Investments and paper trails, buy and sell
It's not a way of living I can defend
All I can do is remember when
