One day about twenty-five years from now We've all grown old, wondering how We'll all sit down at the city dump And talk about the goodle days You'll pass the joint and I'll pass the wine Anything good down the line A lotta good things went down one time Back in the goodle days And the goodle days are past and gone A lotta good people have done gone on That's my life when I sing this song About back in the goodle days Sometimes I get to thinking that we're almost done And there ain't nothing left that we can figure out And I guess it must have seemed a lot more like that Back in the goodle days But when ya gotta go, ya gotta go There's always somebody, don't ya know Hanging round, saying, "Well I told you so" Back in the goodle days And the goodle days are past and gone A lotta good people have done gone on That's my life when I sing this song About back in the goodle days Oh, we'll all join hands and gather round When that old guitar starts to make that sound A lotta good things went down downtown Back in the goodle days Squeezing love with the people that we hadn't even met After anything that we could get We did it then, we'll do it yet Back in the goodle days And the goodle days are past and gone A lotta good people have done gone on That's my life when I sing this song About back in the goodle days And the goodle days are past and gone A lotta good people have done gone on That's my life when I sing this song About back in the goodle days The goodle days are past and gone A lotta good people have done gone on That's my life when I sing this song Back in the goodle days
