"In The Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad)"- Dolly Parton We'd get up before sun-up to get the work done up We'd work in the fields till the sun had gone down We've stood and we've cried as we have bristly watched A hailstorm a' beatin' our crops to the ground We've gone to bed hungry many nights in the past In the good old days when times were bad No amount of money could buy from me The memories that I have of then No amount of money could pay me To go back and live through it again I've seen daddy's hands break open and bleed And I've seen him work till he's stiff as a board An' I've seen momma layin' in suffer and sickness In need of a doctor we couldn't afford Anything at all was more than we had In the good old days when times were bad We've got up before and found ice on the floor Where the wind would blow snow through the cracks in the wall And I couldn't enjoy then, havin' a boyfriend I had nothing decent to wear at all So I long for a love that I never had In the good old days when times were bad No amount of money could buy from me The memories that I have of then No amount of money could pay me To go back and live through it again In the good old days when times were bad In the good old days when times were bad

Oh my, this could go either way. I studied the history behind a lot of good old days, so I know how they were mostly illusions. Back in the good old days, I actually thought that my right wing friends would have my back, and fight for freedom and justice. Because they said so. Then there were the slightly later good old days, when I thought my left wing friends were brave, honest, and compassionate for everyone, especially including me. Because they said so. Mostly I miss how much better I felt, before I found out that there are lying scumbags waiting to take unfair advantage no matter where you go.

In the Good Old Days... I could leave my doors unlocked when I left. I left my car windows rolled down with my purse in the seat and it will still be there.. In the good old days, People stopped and chatted on the street without fear.

The shelf life of your appliances paralleled the life-span of your dog

In the good ole days, you had to drive to the video store to rent a movie (or game) and you had to "gulp" socialize.

In the good ole days, there were no dating sites.. if you want to meet new people, you go to church bingo.
