Well I remember when I was just children
The time the people used to treat the neighbor like a fellow man
Them all day singin' and them big prayer meetins
When a man was proud to walk up and shake on his neighbors hand
Oh you talk about the good times
Talk about the good times
If you ever needed help a friend was there
Now some good neighbor
Would help lift your burden
And the simple joys of life a friend would share
The times are harder and the people are changin'
Today most folks couldn't tell you who their next door neighbors are
All their guns are loaded, the front doors are bolted
Ain't this ol' world takin' hate and fear just a little too far
Oh you talk about the good times
Talk about the good times
I wish I could just go back to the days I'm speakin' of
When a friend would meet you
And a smile would greet you
What this ol' world needs now is a more old fashioned love
My old granddaddy God rest his soul
Well we had a big long talk together the day he died
Said son this world is so full of hate and venom
That I can't wait to leave this ol' place and rest on the other side
The time the people used to treat the neighbor like a fellow man
Them all day singin' and them big prayer meetins
When a man was proud to walk up and shake on his neighbors hand
Oh you talk about the good times
Talk about the good times
If you ever needed help a friend was there
Now some good neighbor
Would help lift your burden
And the simple joys of life a friend would share
The times are harder and the people are changin'
Today most folks couldn't tell you who their next door neighbors are
All their guns are loaded, the front doors are bolted
Ain't this ol' world takin' hate and fear just a little too far
Oh you talk about the good times
Talk about the good times
I wish I could just go back to the days I'm speakin' of
When a friend would meet you
And a smile would greet you
What this ol' world needs now is a more old fashioned love
My old granddaddy God rest his soul
Well we had a big long talk together the day he died
Said son this world is so full of hate and venom
That I can't wait to leave this ol' place and rest on the other side
