old days new

it's friday night, county road, seventeen, off we go, it's summertime, not a care in the world, well i remember, my two best friends and me, takin' a trip to feel the ocean breeze, nothing but dreams as far as we could see, oh i remember, when fillin' that tank would seem like such a big deal, and how the wind in my hair with the sun coming up made me feel, oh well i ain't complaining, about the way things are, not so long ago life was oh so easy now, when it seems so far, what i wouldn't do to make the old days new, jenny thompson, our first date, i showed up early, she made me wait, clumsy conversation with her dad, well i remember, that bright red dress, the perfect fit, a romantic movie that i let her pick, we were both in the dark dreaming of love, oh i remember, how her head on my shoulder seemed like such a big deal, and how the touch of her hand and that very first kiss made me feel, yeah, well i ain't complaining, about the way things are, not too long ago life was oh so easy now, when it seems so far, what i wouldn't do to make the old days new, well i've got a thousand reasons to smile these days, i've got a thousand great memories that i can't replace, but when there's weight on my shoulders and tears on my face, even years from now i know i'll say, i ain't complaining, about the way things are, not too long ago life was oh so easy now, now when that innocence seems so far, when it seems so far, what i wouldn't do to make the old days new, i ain't complaining, about the way things are, not too long ago life was oh so easy now, now when that innocence seems so far, when it seems so far, what i wouldn't do to make the old days new
