Nelson - Back In The Day lyrics

We take it in at the movies You pitch us on tv All of you latest and greatest scams All your flavors of the week So you're confused by that retro sound And why it just keeps coming back around? (well cuz...) Back in the day We felt we could do the impossible Back in the day All our dreams were simply unstoppable Back in the day You went and lowered the standards And thought we never knew Well, you can hail sh** a thousand times But that don't make it groove That's why you can't make us walk away from a soundtrack that still sounds great (because) Back in the day We were free to be anything we wanted to Back in the day We believed there was nothing that we couldn't do Before they taught us the fear to fly Before we sold out and ceased to try The radio was our saving grace Yeah, our heros showed us the way Back in the day Our cla**ic 45's are nothing less that time machines Press play to spin then climb right in and take that trip to what you need They break us out - they see us through We're ten feet tall and bullet proof Wouldn't want to know what to do without those songs we play From back in the day (Solo) Back in the day When we were nothing short of incredible They broke us out - they got us through Made us ten feet tall and bullet proof Yeah, they made me like they made you those magic songs they play From back in the day
