lyrics

All That Time Ago

Was the summer of 71
Just hanging out and having so much fun
Andy’s playing guitar…… in the Sun

Writing songs up in my room
Andy says I’ll play you brand new tune
Harmonies drifted into the air

And nothing really mattered to us at all
But my daddy at my age had to go and fight in a war

I think of him doing the best he could
He and my momma hoping our lives would be good
Wish the they could see I understood

We sang our songs and got them on tape
Played at our college
and everyone thought we were great
Just being ourselves it felt so good

Those days are gone
But we still have the music
and the hopes and dreams of my …….momma and daddy
Still live deep within my soul

And nothing really mattered to us at all
But my daddy at that age had to go and fight in a war

All that time ago
All that time ago
All that time ago
I remember my mother and father
All That time ago
