Found a book of interest the other day | |
Compositions for the young and old to sing | |
Poems written many years ago | |
They told of family and hope and other things | |
Put together in the old days | |
When fifteen cents, it was a buck | |
That's when five would get you ten | |
Before it took you eight just to get you one | |
Some people, they don't care when they're down on their luck | |
Cheap thrills are awful hard to find these days | |
No one is amused for free | |
Someone's pulling on your mama's apron strings | |
You'd better run and see who it is | |
Playing cards with your neighbors on the back porch | |
Singing with an old beat-up guitar | |
Going to the local swimming hole | |
Until they closed it down, now there's nowhere to go | |
Things used to be so simple, long time ago | |
Now everything is so expensive and complicated | |
I hear you need a license for just about anything | |
Used to be that a handshake was a man's word | |
Now we settle arguments in court | |
No one trusts anyone's intentions anymore | |
Rummaging through the attic when i'm home | |
It brings back those memories to me | |
I'd amuse myself when i was small | |
When i was younger, the simplest things would do | |
Now i'm on everybody's mailing list | |
For things i can't afford to buy | |
I hear the weatherman | |
He says 'it looks like rain for a while' | |
I guess i'll have to stay inside | |
Make peanut butter sandwiches and cry |
