Old Days New Lyrics

Friday night, county road
Seventeen, off we go
Summertime, not a care in the world
Well, I remember
My two best friends, and me
Taking a trip, to feel the ocean breeze
Nothing but dreams, as far as we could see
Oh, I remember
When filling that tank
Seemed like such a big deal
And how the wind in my hair
With the sun coming up made me feel
Whoa, but I ain't complaining
(I ain't complaining)
About the way things are
(About the way things are)
But not so long ago
Life was oh so easy now

(Now when that innocence seems so far)
When innocence 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
But I ain't complaining
(I ain't complaining)
About the way things are
(About the way things are)
But not too long ago
Life was oh so easy now
(Now when that innocence seems so far)
When innocence seems so far
What I wouldn't do
To make the old days new, yeah
Well, I've gotta thousand reasons to smile these days
I've gotta 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
But not too long ago
Life was oh so easy
I ain't complaining
About the way things are
But not too long ago
Life was oh so easy now
(Now when that innocence seems so far)
When innocence seems so far
What I wouldn't do, what I wouldn't do
To make the old days new, oh yeah
