Lyrics
GOLDEN DAYS
Verse 1 Been a long time in the city
And a long time on the road
Feels like forever
Since I've been back home
Verse 2 But lately I've been thinking
back on childhood days
Those precious memories
That somehow slipped away
Pre-Chorus
Those younger days were golden days
Back in the old country
Chorus
Summertime on the mountainside
Running through the fields
Fishing down by the river bend
With Grandpa watching over me
Sitting by the lake with Grandma
Underneath those willow trees
Those precious memories
Those were the golden Days
Those were the golden Days
Bridge
Think I've given all I can to the city life
Done my time on the neon lights
Think it's time for me to take the highway
That will take me back to those golden days
Back to those golden days
Yeah,
Chorus
I'm going back to that mountainside
Going back to walk those fields
Going back down to the river bend
Where Grandpa still watches over me
Yeah,
I'm Gonna sit right down on that Holy Ground
Underneath those willow trees
Yeah, I'm gonna find those memories
Those were the golden Days
Those were the golden Days
Outro
It's never too late to remember
Remember those Golden Days.
It's never too late to remember
Remember those Golden Days.
