about

We ran through this straight song once then recorded it, Willie for the first time so we're both looking at the words, Willie trying to anticipate when I'd sing'em, having only that one exposure, the synch or out-of-synchness then being what happened... meanwhile jamin along too.

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 and 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
