In the day
Do you remember in the day All our crazy summer ways And those guys that were our friends? The red and yellow windy falls When we seemed to have it all And it was never going to end The girls we loved that came and went All the idle time we spent Playing records that we borrowed And now it kind of hurts to think That every time I take a drink That this would be tomorrow I don't see nothing wrong with dreaming Unless that's all you seem to do Something's wrong when you can't find meaning Since nineteen-seventy-two I'm not sure if it's me that needs changing Maybe we had a better way But then the world always needed rearranging Even back in the day Even back in the day They've turned the Ritz into a mall And tore down the big and tall But the ghosts still wander Main Street They took away the mom and pop There's a seven acre stop Where you buy new tires and bed sheets Paula's record shop is gone It died a little with each song That was written by committee And now the stars don't really shine They steal the glow we left behind In a time they never did see I don't see nothing wrong with dreaming Unless that's all you seem to do Something's wrong when you can't find meaning Since nineteen-seventy-two I'm not sure if it's me that needs changing Maybe we had a better way But then the world always needed rearranging Even back in the day Even back in the day
