Just a Lie

from Graveyard Dirt by Synth Widow

lyrics

Those good old days were not so good to me
Back on the farm in 1933
Depression took most everything we had
Those good old days were mostly pretty bad
Those good old days, they broke my family down
Just like a plow in steep and rocky ground
Those hard times tore my family all apart
I still can feel that cold wind in my heart
Tip your hat, wave goodbye
The good old days is just a lie

Those good old days were pretty low and mean
With corn meal mush and sometimes streak o' lean
Picking up coal along the railroad tracks
Why would you want to have those hard times back?
Tip your hat, wave goodbye
The good old days is just a lie

No I don't say that everything was bad
There was some mighty good times that we had
But you can't spend the silver sun and moon
And you can't eat a lonesome fiddle tune

So tell me why you'd ever want to go
Back to a time you didn't really know
Those good old days were awful hard on me
So let ‘em go, for God's sake let 'em be
Tip your hat, wave goodbye
The good old days is just a lie
