[Verse 1]
Back in the day
When we were little kids
We used to imitate
The latest hit parade
We sang the good old songs
The radio would play
And those movie stars
Lived out a fantasy
With those pretty chicks
And those handsome dudes
And we danced the night away
Back in the day

[Verse 2]
Back in the day
We used to bunk off school
We used to break the rules
And sit in the movies all day
Till the night time came around
Back in the day

[Bridge]
Those old Hank Williams songs
The way Chet Atkins played
Big bands and honky tonk
And dixie lam bands on parade
And Eddie Kirkham from the lawn
While sang her fortune song
Back in the day
[Chorus]
Back in the day
When we were little kids
We used to imitate
The latest hit parade
And sing the good old songs
The radio would play
Back in the day
