Old Days New

It's Friday night, county road

Seventeen, off we go

It's summertime, not a care in the world

Well I remember



My two best friends and me

Takin' a trip to feel the ocean breeze

Nothing but dreams as far as we could see

Oh I remember



When fillin' that tank would seem like such a big deal

And how the wind in my hair with the sun coming up made me feel



Oh well I ain't complaining (I ain't complaining)

About the way things are (About the way things are)

Not so long ago life was oh so easy now

(Now when that innocence seems so far) When it seems so far

What I wouldn't do to make the old days new



Jenny Thompson, our first date

I showed up early, she made me wait

Clumsy conversation with her dad

Well I remember



That bright red dress, the perfect fit

A romantic movie that I let her pick

We were both in the dark dreaming of love

Oh I remember



How her head on my shoulder seemed like such a big deal

And how the touch of her hand and that very first kiss made me feel, yeah



Well I ain't complaining (I ain't complaining)

About the way things are (About the way things are)

Not too long ago life was oh so easy now

(Now when that innocence seems so far) When it seems so far

What I wouldn't do to make the old days new



Well I've got a thousand reasons to smile these days

I've got a thousand great memories that I can't replace

But when there's weight on my shoulders and tears on my face

Even years from now I know I'll say



I ain't complaining

About the way things are

Not too long ago life was oh so easy now

Now when that innocence seems so far

When it seems so far

What I wouldn't do to make the old days new



I ain't complaining

About the way things are

Not too long ago life was oh so easy now

Now when that innocence seems so far

When it seems so far

What I wouldn't do to make the old days new
