GROWING UP IN A TIME WHERE LIFE WAS SIMPLE AND LIFE WAS FREE
I’LL NEVER FORGET THOSE THINGS THAT WERE TAUGHT TO ME
THE THINGS I LEARNED FROM MY FAMILY
HONOR, RESPECT AND LOVE WAS ESSENTIAL TO OUR LIVES
AND FAITH IN GOD WAS A MUST FOR WE LEARNED TO BE MORE LIKE HIM
WE ALL SHOULD STRIVE
I STILL SE GRANDMA IN THE KITCHEN COOKING UP THAT CHRISTMAS MEAL
THE FAMILY WOULD GATHER TOGETHER AROUND THE TABLE
AND LOVE WAS ALL WE’D FEEL
BUT NOW THOSE TIMES HAVE CHANGED
WE’VE LOST ALL SENSE OF WHAT FAMILY REALLY MEANS
OUR CHILDREN ARE DYING
THIS WORLD IS FALLING APART AT THE SEAMS
TELL ME, CAN WE GO BACK
COME AND GO WITH ME
LET’S GO BACK TO THE FAMILY
LET’S GO BACK TO THE TIME WHEN RULES WERE FOLLOWED
AND OUR PARENTS WE DID HEED
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE THOSE DAYS HAVE GONE
WHEN ON EACH OTHER WE COULD LEAN
LET’S GO BACK TO THE WAY THE FAMILY USED TO BE
LET’S GO BACK TO THE BLOODLINE
I SEE MY PARENTS WORKIN HARD TO FEED THEIR CHILDREN WELL
WE DIDN’T HAVE VERY MUCH, BUT THEY BOTH MADE DUE
SO YOU COULD NEVER REALLY TELL
NOW I’M ALL GROWN UP, BUT THOSE MEMORIES WILL ALWAYS STAY
EMBEDDED IN MY HEART, THEY PLAY A PART IN HOW I LIVE FROM DAY TO DAY
TELL ME CAN WE GO BACK TO THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS
COME AND GO WITH ME
LET’S GO BACK TO THE FAMILY
LET’S GO BACK TO THE TIME WHERE RULES WERE FOLLOWED
AND OUR PARENT WE DID HEED
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE THOSE DAYS HAVE GONE
WHERE ON EACH OTHER WE COULD LEAN
WHERE YES MA’AM, NO SIR, SHOWED RESPECT
TO THOSE WHO WERE MUCH WISER THAN WE
COME AND GO WITH ME, WHERE WE PLAYED OUT IN THE STREET
AND WHEN THE STREET LIGHTS CAME ON AT THE HOUSE
IS EXACTLY WHERE WE’D BE
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE THOSE DAYS HAVE GONE
WHERE BOYS WERE FRIENDLY AND GIRLS WERE SWEET
LET US BRING BACK THE WAY THE FAMILY USED TO BE
