In The Day - Billy Bob Thornton

Do you remember in the day

all our crazy summer ways

And those guys that were our friends

The red and yellow windy falls

when we seemed to have it all

and it was never gonna end

The girls we loved

that came and went

All the idle time we spent

playing records that we’d borrowed

Now it kinda hurts to think

every time I take a drink

that this would be tomorrow

I don’t see nothin’wrong with dreaming

unless that’s all you seem to do Something’s wrong when you can’t find meaning

since nineteen seventy two

I’m not sure if it’s me that

needs changing'

Maybe we had a better way

But then the world always

needed rearranging

Even back in the day

Even back in the day

They’ve turned the Ritz into

a mall

And tore down the Big and Tall

But the ghosts still wander main street

They took away the mom and pop

There’s a seven acre stop

Where you buy new tires and bed sheets

Paula’s record shop is gone

It died a little with each song

that was written by committee

Now the stars don’t really shine

They steal the glow we left behind

In a time they never did see

I don’t see nothin’wrong with dreaming

unless that’s all you seem to do Something’s wrong when you can’t find meaning

since nineteen seventy two

I’m not sure if it’s me that

needs changing'

Maybe we had a better way

But then the world always

needed rearranging

Even back in the day

Even back in the day
