lyrics

out dining with a friend of mine
as he sat there steady whining almost the whole damm time saying
'these days ain't near the same', wants to go back to his hey day
back in the day, felt a little bit ashamed that the boy would complain...

I'm like 'think about it homie, remember being sad and lonely,
living off the Ramen begging for cheese and macaroni.
Got your wife and kids, dogs and cats,
good job and friends that got your back,
so ya really think you gonna wanna flip it back just like that?
...

sitting kettles boil
to tease out the past day
with armed, wetted broad brows
tease out
what a tangle may

shooting top soil conversation
and growing better words
to cut the cat tails short
seems so many days
past the last time since i turned around
=
turned around and spun off faster
i was once known in better ways
and i really thought that those were
better days
=
wouldn't want these things to count
or score me higher grades
i'm still sitting
seems so hard
practicing in many ways

and better that we spoke alone
there's so many saves
this sight's saved
but still take
i forget in most everyday
=
i forget my due's my master
i was once known in better ways
and i really thought that those were
better days
