Back in the Goodle Days John Hartford

One day about twenty-five years from now
When we've all grown old from a-wondering how
Oh we'll all sit down at the city dump
And talk about the Goodle Days

Oh you'll pass the joint and I'll pass the wine
And anything good from a-down the line
A lot of good things went down one time
Back in the Goodle Days

And the Good Old Days are past and gone
A lot of good people have done gone on
That's my life when I sing this song about
Back in the Goodle Days

Sometimes I get to thinkin' that we're almost done
And there ain't nothin' left that we can figure out
And I guess it must have seemed a lot more like that
Back in the Goodle Days

But when ya gotta go, ya gotta go
There's always somebody don'tcha know
A-hangin' round a-sayin' "Well I told you so"
Back in the Goodle Days

And the Good Old Days are past and gone
A lot of good people have done gone on
That's my life when I sing this song about
Back in the Goodle Days
