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
