[Verse 1:]

Old days golden covering the bases

Back when we used to punch each other in the faces

Under my skin try on the ions

See how it feels let bygones be bygones

Past thieves store script to the well known

That's when we did it no shit from the elbow

Underground meant something low water Apocalypse

Cats in the trees robots and rocket ships

[Hook:]

Way back when…Solid Gold…That song on the radio's nice (x4)

[Verse 2:]

Hooks for hands trash in the can

Cash in the plan flash in the pan

Baseball, baseball making the catches

Tearing the roof off playing with matches

Bumped and bruised dumped by the girlfriend

Satan and Santa Claus Waiting for the world's end

Dancing in the bathroom suffering in hatred

Cutting the trees down like nothing is sacred

Struck by lightning brand new exciting bands

Writing grants we might have had a fighting chance

Words like weapons that dealt a crushing blow

Under the stars on the edge of touch and go

Boogey man, dirty books, fingers crossed just in case

Sadly mistaken trying to make it to second base

Men drew lines young boys drew knives

Every study very body had to lie

[Hook:]

Way back when…Solid Gold…That song on the radio's nice (x4)

[Bridge:]

Right right back to the past

Like it was, like it was

Cause it ain't like it was in the old days

[Verse 3:]

Dry heaves it's always so wide, grief

Had to learn just to be so naive

Odd jobs about stories and soul models

Living in a world of superheros and role models

Big deals out of limits of friendship

Stopping stars, photoshopping stars cars off bridges

Man of the rodeo women of burlesque

Epic battles and apples on the teacher's desk

Crying wolves, awaking in the cave

Weakness secrets taken to the grave

The bigger, the better

Unfair and so drastic

Things made it work, long days and no plastic

Uzis weighed a ton

45ths, 33rds Limits untested

First kisses and dirty words

Devils in the details God saw air, buddy

Bad joke but ha ha very funny!

[Hook:]

Way back when…Solid Gold…That song on the radio's nice (x4)

Way…back…when

Cause it ain't like it was in the old days

Old days, old days
