| I can hear my parents calling
|
| Picking flowers in the garden
|
| Easy to amuse
|
| Didn’t keep up with the news
|
| Oh yeah
|
| That was back when rent was cheaper
|
| Dirty t-shirts, beat up sneakers
|
| Everything was new
|
| And not a thing we couldn’t do
|
| Here’s to the dreams that we had
|
| Back when we laughed and we didn’t know that
|
| There would be days that were bad
|
| We felt the love and we loved what we had
|
| Not all the money we stash
|
| We wouldn’t fight back the tears when were sad
|
| Gave everybody a chance
|
| What happened to all the dreams that we had
|
| Never by myself
|
| Couldn’t reach me at my cell
|
| Didn’t have to work back then
|
| Our parents were the ATMs
|
| When it was easy to be grateful
|
| Whatever we had we were thankful
|
| Didn’t worry about the bills
|
| Every now and again
|
| I just think back to when
|
| I can hear my parents calling
|
| Picking flowers in the garden
|
| Easy to amuse
|
| Didn’t keep up with the news
|
