babyface--simple days |
| [00:23.77] |
i was born on the northside of a midwestern town |
| [00:29.44] |
there was nine of us living in a three bedroom house |
| [00:34.90] |
didn't have much money, but we made do |
| [00:40.58] |
'cause momma worked all day long |
| [00:43.76] |
and daddy did too |
| [00:46.93] |
did all they could |
| [00:48.57] |
made sure we had clothes and food |
| [00:51.47] |
went to public schools and we followed public rules |
| [00:57.83] |
we used second hand books |
| [01:00.18] |
but oh i didn't mind the books |
| [01:02.76] |
momma taught us early in life |
| [01:06.89] |
everybody's gotta struggle sometime |
| [01:07.69] |
bring back those simple times of yesterday |
| [01:13.23] |
when a man was a man |
| [01:15.77] |
and a friend was a friend |
| [01:17.29] |
|
| [01:22.09] |
bring back those simple times of yesterday |
| [01:26.21] |
|
| [01:27.35] |
when you said what you meant |
| [01:28.53] |
and you meant what you said |
| [01:31.64] |
|
| [01:32.49] |
had a friend named bobby |
| [01:34.84] |
who always kept his word |
| [01:37.85] |
we went through schoolyard fights |
| [01:40.67] |
had a thing for pretty girls |
| [01:44.00] |
didn't cost much money |
| [01:46.34] |
to see the picture show |
| [01:48.96] |
so we hopped the bus into town |
| [01:51.97] |
that's where all the girlies used to go |
| [01:54.85] |
|
| [01:55.67] |
fifty cents would buy us popcorn for two |
| [02:01.67] |
'cause booby's girl she worked there |
| [02:03.54] |
and sometimes she'd break the rules |
| [02:06.58] |
|
| [02:07.21] |
picnics in the summer |
| [02:08.71] |
wouldn't wake up 'till noon |
| [02:12.03] |
and even though bobby's gone now |
| [02:15.23] |
i can still hear him laugh |
| [02:17.79] |
in the middle of june |
| [02:18.96] |
sometimes i sit, i wonder |
| [02:35.46] |
i reminisce |
| [02:35.96] |
i think of all the good times |
| [02:37.31] |
that we had in our lives |
| [02:38.86] |
|
| [02:42.56] |
sometimes i can't get over |
| [02:44.60] |
how wonderful those days were |
| [02:49.11] |
back in our lies |
