[length: 04:31]
[00:23.66]I was born on the north side of a mid-western town
[00:29.12]There was nine of us living in a three-bedroom house, yeah
[00:35.23]Didn’t have much money but we made do
[00:40.05]’Cause mama worked all day long and daddy did too
[00:46.70]Did all they could, made sure we had clothes and food
[00:52.41]Went to public schools and we followed public rules
[00:56.94]We used second hand books, but oh, I didn’t mind the books
[01:03.40]Mama taught us early in life
[01:06.55]Everybody’s gotta struggle sometime
[01:09.83]Bring back those simple times of yesterday
[01:14.27]When a man was a man
[01:17.11]And a friend was a friend
[01:21.33]Bring back those simple times of yesterday (yesterday)
[01:26.12]When you said what you meant
[01:28.93]And you meant what you said
[01:33.41]Had a friend named Bobby, who always kept his word
[01:38.54]We went through schoolyard fights, had a thing for pretty girls, yeah
[01:44.38]Didn’t cost much money to see the picture show
[01:49.30]So we hopped the bus into town
[01:52.38]That’s where all the girlies used to go sit
[01:55.78]Fifty cents would buy us yeah, popcorn for two
[02:01.15]’Cause Bobby’s girl, she worked there
[02:03.64]And sometimes she’d break the rules, yes
[02:06.79]And picnics in the summer wouldn’t wake up ’til noon
[02:12.34]And even though Bobby’s gone now
[02:15.41]I can still hear him laugh in the middle of June
[02:19.09]Bring back those simple times of yesterday
[02:23.75]When a man was a man (hey)
[02:26.63]And a friend was a friend (was a friend, yeah)
[02:30.62]Bring back those simple times of yesterday (yesterday)
[02:35.35]When you said what you meant
[02:38.58]And you meant what you said
[02:42.04]Sometimes I sit, I wonder
[02:45.28]I reminisce, I think of all the good times
[02:50.34]That we had in our lives (ah, ooh)
[02:53.74]Sometimes I can’t get over, oh
[02:56.69]How wonderful those days were back in our lives
[03:01.99]Simple days for simple times
[03:05.25]Bring back those simple times of yesterday
