We kept ourselves in the yard chasin' flies
And that was the best I've felt in a while
I wanna let you know
That I wouldn't change the way it was
Those were the best days, you know?
And our parents gave us everythin' they had
And I had a thought the other day
I wonder if he knows
The life he built by showin' me the way
This time last year I moved away to place I knew
That was the hardest thing to have to do
I wanna let you know
That I wouldn't change the way it was
Those were the best days, you know?
And our parents gave us everythin' they had
And I had a thought the other day
I wonder if he knows
The life he built by showin' me the way
And when I reach the dusty roads
I'm reminded of how you showed me faith in times of need
And that nothing can replace your family
Man, I can't believe we're grown but still the same
I had a lot to learn
So here's a song saying thanks to you
I'm the man I want to be
And I wouldn't change the way it was
Those were the best days, you know?
And our parents gave us everythin' they had
And I had a thought the other day
I wonder if he knows
The life he built by showin' me the way
The life he built by showin' me the way
And that was the best I've felt in a while
I wanna let you know
That I wouldn't change the way it was
Those were the best days, you know?
And our parents gave us everythin' they had
And I had a thought the other day
I wonder if he knows
The life he built by showin' me the way
This time last year I moved away to place I knew
That was the hardest thing to have to do
I wanna let you know
That I wouldn't change the way it was
Those were the best days, you know?
And our parents gave us everythin' they had
And I had a thought the other day

The life he built by showin' me the way
