Текст песни: Talk About the Good Times + перевод

Well I remember when I was as children

The time the people used to treat the neighbor like a fellow man

And all their singing and big prayer meetings

When a man was proud to walk up and shake his neighbor’s hand

Oh you talk about the good times

Talk about the good times

Oh if you ever needed help a friend was there

Some good neighbor

Help lift your burden

Mmm, and the simple joys of life a friend would share

Times are harder and the people are changing

Now most folks couldn’t tell you who their neighbors are

All their guns are loaded, the front doors are bolted

Ain’t this old world taking hate and fear just a little too far

Oh you talk about the good times

Talk about the good times

I wish I could go back to the days I’m speaking of

When a friend would meet you

And a smile would greet you

What this old world needs now is a little old fashioned love

My granddaddy God rest his soul now

Well we had a big long talk together the day he died

Said son this world is full of hate and venom

And I can’t wait to leave this old place and rest on the other side

Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times

Talk about the good times

I’m gonna see all the friends I knew in the good old days

We’ll have a big hand shaking

And sit and talk together

Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away
