Daddies were Daddies and Mamas were saints What preachers were preaching You could take to the bank Kids played outside Up until it turned to dark When the world turned slower And you could smoke in a bar Trucks took a beating The working man too You could turn on the six o'clock And get the whole truth A seat belt was a backup For Mamas right arm When the world turned slower And you could smoke in a bar My, oh my! How times have changed But man sometimes I miss them old days They say we've come a long way But I'd say it's a little bit too far From when the world turned slower And you could smoke in a bar Neighbors came by and talked on the porch We all said goodnight And never locked the front door Even downtown You could still see the stars When the world turned slower And you could smoke in a bar My, oh my! How times have changed But man sometimes I miss them old days They say we've come a long way But I'd say it's a little bit too far From when the world turned slower And you could smoke in a bar A deal was a deal When you shook a man's hand When we saw the flag flying We all gave a damn My, oh my! How times have changed But man sometimes I miss them old days They say we've come a long way But I'd say it's a little bit too far From when the world turned slower And you could smoke in a bar From when the world turned slower And you could smoke in a bar
