The Oak Ridge Boys — Talk About The Good Times

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 Oh you talk about the good times, we're gonna have a good time Gonna have a good time I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol' days Have a big hand shakin' Sit and talk together Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our cares away Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times Talk about the good times I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol' days Have a big hand shakin' Sit and talk together Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our cares away
