Good Days Songtext
von Minus Six

Nothing could be better than beautiful weather
On a Saturday, ball bat, turn around your baseball cap
′Round the base, home run, celebration overdone
And the sun goes down and the sky turns dark
And you don't wanna go home, not leave Carstens Park
You promise to meet the next day, pick it up from the start
I miss the good days
Oh, I miss the good days

Riding our bikes back home
Hitting fireflies on the front lawn
I remember that red wiffle ball bat
Fireworks, we lit up the sky
Reminding us the Fourth of July was coming up
Sneak Dad′s beer in a cup
I miss those days, I miss my old friends
I sure hope sometime we'll reminisce
And we'll laugh and we′ll talk and remember way back when


When we would sit back and never worry ′bout a thing
We just prayed that that grass came up thick and green
So we could lay down at night and wish on the stars up above us
That's what we liked to do when we were young
And now all we wanna do is you know what
I guess that′s part, I guess that's part of growing up

And the girls collected butterflies
As the boys set up the slip and slide
And we′d all eat lunch in our swimming trunks
And we'd talk about what we′d be in life when we grew up
And how we'd drink wine 'cause that′s just what you do
At your neighbor′s barbecue
We did what we wanted, no one could have stopped us
We were young, energetic, vibrant and rebellious

We would sit back and never worry 'bout a thing
We just prayed that that grass came up thick and green
So we could lay down at night and wish on the stars up above us
That′s what we liked to do when we were young
And now all we wanna do is you know what
I guess that's part, I guess that′s part of growing up


I'll never forgive the day I felt so alone
Waving goodbye to the moving van
As she left her friends and her home
That was the first time I knew I was not a kid
Nothing′s supposed to hurt quite as bad as that did
And I tasted the tears falling down on my lips
And I realized everything I'd begin to miss
Life was changing

Times were changing

I wish I could go back to the days I relaxed
Back when I was just a kid

When I would sit back and never worry 'bout a thing
Just prayed that that grass came up thick and green
We could lay down at night and wish on the stars up above us
That′s what we liked to do when we were young
And now all we wanna do is you know what
I guess that′s part, I guess that's part of growing up
