Back in the Day

[Verse 1]
Back in the day
When a loaf of bread cost a nickel
We used to ride all over town on my bicycle
We would stand on the corner an' sing
While the jukebox played our favorite song
Then the guys started fighting over something simple
They couldn't get along

[Hook]
Back in the day (way back)
Back in the day

[Verse 2]
Back in the day
When we used to go to the rock 'n' roll show
We used to have such a good time sitting on the very fist row
Friday house party with a red light
Drive-in movie every Saturday night
That was the only chance I got to get away from mama
And hold somebody tight

[Hook]

[Bridge]
When I think about yesterday
A tear comes to my eye
When I think about the games we played
They wasn't games, there were just a part of my life

[Verse 3]
Back in the day
When we used to play hookey from school
There would always be somebody in class actin' a fool
I thought babies came from just kissin' boys
I thought life was carefree, full of joy
But now I know better day by day I'm gettin' it together
And I don't regret a thing

[Hook]
