Old Days New

Aaron Lines

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
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

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 (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

(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
