In The Day Lyrics by Billy Bob Thornton

Beautiful Door

0

Do you remember in the day
All our crazy summer ways
And those guys that were our friends?
The red and yellow windy falls
When we seemed to have it all
And it was never going to end

The girls we loved that came and went
All the idle time we spent
Playing records that we borrowed
And now it kind of hurts to think
That every time I take a drink
That this would be tomorrow

I don't see nothing wrong with dreaming
Unless that's all you seem to do
Something's wrong when you can't find meaning
Since nineteen-seventy-two
I'm not sure if it's me that needs changing
Maybe we had a better way
But then the world always needed rearranging
Even back in the day
Even back in the day

They've turned the Ritz into a mall
And tore down the big and tall
But the ghosts still wander Main Street
They took away the mom and pop
There's a seven acre stop
Where you buy new tires and bed sheets

Paula's record shop is gone
It died a little with each song
That was written by committee
And now the stars don't really shine
They steal the glow we left behind
In a time they never did see

I don't see nothing wrong with dreaming
Unless that's all you seem to do
Something's wrong when you can't find meaning
Since nineteen-seventy-two
I'm not sure if it's me that needs changing
Maybe we had a better way
But then the world always needed rearranging
Even back in the day
Even back in the day
