[Verse 1:]
People sit around and they talk and talk
How their dreams all ended too soon
Guess they never hung out under the stars
Howling at the moon
I guess we're as different as nine and eight
I see it in a different light
I don't think much about the good ol' days
Just about the good ol' nights

[Chorus:]
Talk about the good times
Talk about the times when the times were right
You can keep the good ol' days I'll take the good ol' nights

[Verse 2:]
They wanna go back to when a Cadillac
Didn't look like a Chevrolet
It mean't a lot to them but not a thing to me
I never owned one anyway
But a good looking woman and an old guitar
With both of them tuned just right
Well I don't think much about the good ol' days
Just about the good ol' nights

[Chorus]
