    This song is exactly what the title says. A reflection back to those less troubled times when life seemed pretty simple. I wrote this song with Darius Gakas.
    CD: Not on CD yet   Label: N/A
    Credits: Ray Burton / Darius Gakas

    Story Behind the Song
    Darius had A fist full of "Good Ol'Days" reflective lyrics and a rough melody and asked me if I could arrange it and tailor the song into a Country Rock/Soul type feel. So I did! I invited legendary slide guitar player Kirk Lorange to play on the track and of course he made it sound great. Thanks Kirk. I might add here that all of the songs on my page here are available for others to cover.

    INTRO 8 BARS :
    VERSE 1 :
    TURN BACK THE CLOCK TO HIGH SCHOOL DAYS, OH WHAT A TIME,
    WE HAD A BALL WHEN WE WERE KIDS, YOU WERE A FRIEND OF MINE,
    WALKIN, TO SCHOOL THINKIN, WE WERE SO COOL,
    WITH A CIGARETTE IN OUR HAND,
    WE,D COUGH AND WHEEZ AND THE SMOKE MADE US SNEEZE,
    BUT WE THOUGHT WE WERE SUCH BIG MEN,
    VERSE 2 :
    AND WHAT ABOUT THE BROKEN HEARTS, HOW PAIN FILLED THEY WERE,
    YOU SAID THERE,D BE NO OTHER LOVE, ,CAUSE YOU WOULD LOVE ONLY HER,
    WE WERE OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON,
    BUT TOO YOUNG TO SEE THE WHOLE THING THROUGH,
    SPENDING LATE NIGHTS WITH A HEAD FULL OF DREAMS,
    CAUSE IN DREAMS THERE,S NOTHIN, WE CAN,T DO,
    CHORUS 1 :
    BRING BACK, BRING BACK THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS,
    BRING BACK THOSE DAYS, WE,VE NEARLY FORGOTTEN,
    BRING BACK, I WANT TO BRING BACK,
    BRING BACK THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS AGAIN, . . . . . . . . . 4 BAR GUITAR RIFF . .

    VERSE 3 :

    BEFORE TOO LONG, THOSE DAYS ARE GONE, AND YOU,RE OUT WORKIN, 9 TO 5,
    SO MANY THINGS WERE GOIN, ON, IT WAS GREAT TO BE FREE AND ALIVE,
    YOU BOUGHT A NEW CAR, LIVIN, OUT ON YOUR OWN,
    YOU WERE FEELIN, LIKE A MILLIONAIRE,
    THERE,S WAS SOMETHING BRAND NEW HAPPENING EVERY NIGHT,
    THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH TIME TO COMB YOUR HAIR,
    VERSE 4 :
    WE,D PARTY ON RIGHT THROUGH THE NIGHT, AND YOUR LIFE ROLLS BY IN A HAZE,
    ALWAYS CHANGIN, PLACE, WITH A BRAND NEW FACE,
    IT FELT LIKE RUNNIN, ,ROUND IN A DAZE,
    AND THEN ONE SWEET DAY SHE WALKED INTO YOUR LIFE,
    YOU KNEW YOU WERE NEVER GONNA BE THE SAME,
    IN A BLINK OF AN EYE YOU WERE GOING STEADY,
    SAY GOODBYE TO CARE FREE EDDY OH,


    CHORUS 2 : . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
    VERSE 5 :
    YOU MARRY HER AND THE YEARS FLY BY, YOU WATCH YOUR FAMILY GROW,
    THE PRESSURE,S ON MOST EVERYDAY, SO YOU PUT ON A REALLY GOOD SHOW,
    THE KIDS ARE GROWIN, AND THE MORTGAGE IS HIGH,
    BUT YOUR BOTH GONNA SEE IT THROUGH,
    THE MEMORIES YOU TREASURE, GONNA LAST YOU FOREVER,
    HOLD ON TO THE DREAMS, THAT YOU,LL STILL REMEMBER OH,

    CHORUS 3 : . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . TO GUITAR RIFF . . . . . . . .
    CHORUS 4 : . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


    TAG OUT : . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
