about

It's kind of blue-grassy but needed to add the green to point up its departure. A version of a 1983 song, Good Ol' Days

lyrics

when things were like they used to be
things weren't like they used to be
things were like they used to be
back before some day

In the good ol' days we had World War I.
a shortage of cash a stock market crash
World War II. a maniacal fool and a dust storm

my grand daddy told me bout a letter he got
from his great grand daddy

everybody talks about the good ol' days
but my grand daddy Hayes clued me in
he said don't even listen to them

when things were like they used to be
things weren't like they used to be
things were like they used to be
back before some day

In the good ol' days we had Katherine the Great
we got drafted unexpected we had
pestilence for breakfast
Horace the Lame or whatever was his name, heretics in the flames

when things were like they used to be
things weren't like they used to be
things were like they used to be
back before some day

my grand daddy told me bout a letter he got
from his great grand daddy

everybody talks about the good ol' days
but my grand daddy Hayes clued me in
he said don't even listen to them
