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 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 [ guitar ] 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 Talk about the good times... You can keep the good ol' days I'll take the good ol' nights
