MidLyfe's Crisis - Back in the Day

Back in the day, I was gonna be a football star
Back in the day, I was gonna drive a fancy car
Back in the day, my favorite time of the year was June
Back in the day, I was gonna land a ship on the moon

Had hair down past my shoulders, now the winters seem a little colder
And I thought that I knew everything
Friends and I will sit and drink, tell stories when we think about
How cool we were back in those days

Back in the day, listened to Led Zep on nine
But now a days, lucky if I'm still up past nine
Back in the day, spoke whatever was on my mind
But now a days, I speak carefully all the time

Cause I got two kids and a mortgage payment, got water in a leaky basement
And I think that I know everything
Friends and I will sit and drink, tell stories when we think about
How cool we were back in those days

I was thinking yesterday that it really wasn't that long ago
In summer we'd go out and not come back until it snowed
Reason that it seems much colder, got no hair to be past my shoulder
And I gotta wear a tie to work today

And I was thinking yesterday that it really wasn't that long ago
In summer we'd go out and not come back until it snowed
Reason that it seems much colder, got no hair to be past my shoulder
And I still gotta wear a tie today

Back in the day, I drank too much and I crashed my car
Back in the day, my face broke out and I scrubbed it raw
Back in the day, broke my ass on the football field
And now a days, it all comes back in my aching knees

Love my kids and the mortgage payment
I'm swimming in the leaky basement
And I still think that I know everything
Friends and I will sit and drink, tell stories when we think about
How cool we were back in those days

You know it really wasn't all that great those days
I really wouldn't want to go back to those days
I just listened to some Led Zep today
