Those Were The Days
Nu Breed Lyrics

Y′all remember growing up
Do you remember your childhood?

Back when we was kids
When we were young children

Outside playing from sun up to sun down, baby
Spending all day playing outside

We didn't have a lot
We didn't have many things

But we found a lot to do
But we always found something to keep us occupied

And those were the days
Those were great times

I′m riding around the city out of town I'm goin' to work
I am driving through the city heading to work

I told my boss to send me home cause city life gets on my nerves
I asked my boss to let me go home because I don't like the city life

I just need a little break right now fishing pole and a lake right now
I need a break and want to go fishing on a lake

A cold drink and a steak right now
I want to enjoy a cold drink and eat steak right now

This country boy about to break on down
I am a country boy and I feel overwhelmed

I′m headed for them dirt roads and turning off my work phone
I am going to drive on country roads and turn off my work phone

These work boots they gotta go and I′m coming out these work clothes
I want to change out of my work clothes and boots

Gotta get on down to that country life
I need to go back to living in the country

That's the only thing this boy knows
Living in the country is all I know

Used truck and rusted ol' paint
I had an old truck with rusted paint

Still do the job putting money in the bank
It still works and helps me save money

And a country girl sittin′ on my side yeah those were the days
Having a country girl with me was great back then

Used to not have a worry in the world
I didn't have to worry about anything

Small town boy looking for a country girl
I was a boy from a small town looking for a country girl

Chasing my dreams on these old dirt roads
I chased my dreams while driving on old dirt roads

Windows rolled down turning up the radio
I enjoyed listening to the radio with the windows down

What I wouldn't give to go back to them days
I wish I could go back to those times

Grandpa drive that truck around and grandma taught me how to pray
My grandpa used to drive that old truck and my grandma taught me how to pray

Even though my dad is gone my granny made it seem ok
Even though my dad isn't here, my granny made it feel okay

Cause she taught me how to be a man and something′s never change
She taught me how to be a man and those lessons stay with me

Used to beg my uncle Ricky to let me ride in his Cutlass
I used to ask my uncle Ricky to let me ride in his Cutlass car

That 350 rocket that car is really something
That car with a 350 engine is really impressive

We was cruising on them back roads it don't get better
We enjoyed driving on those back roads, it couldn't get better

Man I wish them days could've lasted forever
I wish those days could have lasted forever

I was just a young boy and I remember how it feels
I was young and I still remember how it felt

To wake up in the morning don′t stress about no bills
To wake up without stressing about paying bills

No worries in the world just to grab my fishin' reels
I didn't have any worries and could just go fishing

And find a country girl and all that on me disappears
Finding a country girl would make all my troubles disappear

We was running through the bushes splashing in the creeks
We ran through the bushes and played in the creeks

Fishing out the fishing holes trying to catch us a beast
We fished in holes trying to catch big fish

Mud on my feet a couple holes in my jeans and
My feet were dirty and I had holes in my jeans

A white t-shirt that′d never stay clean
I wore a white t-shirt that could never stay clean
