[Verse 1]
Daddies were Daddies and Mamas were saints
What preachers were preachin', you could take to the bank
Kids played outside up until it turned dark
When the world turned slower and you could smoke in a bar

[Verse 2]
Trucks took a beatin', the workin' man too
You could turn on the six o'clock and get the whole truth
A seatbelt was a backup for Mama's right arm
When the world turned slower and you could smoke in a bar

[Chorus]
My, oh my, how times have changed
But man, sometimes, I miss them old days
They say we'vе come a long way, but I'd say it's a little bit too far
From when thе world turned slower and you could smoke in a bar

[Verse 3]
Neighbors came by and talked on the porch
We all said goodnight and never locked the front door
Even downtown, you could still see the stars
When the world turned slower and you could smoke in a bar

[Chorus]
My, oh my, how times have changed
But man, sometimes, I miss them old days
They say we've come a long way, but I'd say it's a little bit too far
From when the world turned slower and you could smoke in a bar
[Bridge]
A deal was a deal when you shook a man's hand
When we saw the flag flyin', we all gave a damn

[Chorus]
My, oh my, how times have changed
But man, sometimes, I miss them old days
They say we've come a long way, but I'd say it's a little bit too far
From when the world turned slower and you could smoke in a bar
From when the world turned slower and you could smoke in a bar
