    I was born on the north side of a
    Midwestern town
    There were nine of us living in a
    Three bedroom house
    Didn't have much money
    But we made due
    'cause momma worked all day long
    And daddy did too
    Did all they could
    Made sure we had clothes and food
    Went to public schools and we
    Followed public rules
    We used second hand books, but oh
    I didn't mind the books
    Momma taught us early in life
    Everybody's gotta struggle sometime

    Bring back those simple times of yesterday
    When a man was a man
    And a friend was a friend
    Bring back those simple times of yesterday
    When you said what you meant
    And you meant what you said

    Had a friend named bobby
    Who always kept his word
    We went through schoolyard fights
    Had a thing for pretty girls
    Didn't cost much money to
    See the picture show
    So we hopped the bus into town
    That's where all the girlies used to go
    Fifty cents would buy us popcorn for two
    'cause bobby's girl, she worked there
    And sometimes she'd break the rules
    Picnics in the summer
    Wouldn't wake up 'till noon
    And even though bobby's gone now
    I can still hear him laugh
    In the middle of june

    Hook

    Sometimes i sit, i wonder
    I reminisce, i think of all the good times
    That we had in our lives
    Sometimes i can't get over
    How wonderful those days were
    Back in our lives
    Simple days for simple times

    Hook
