Zach Gill - Back in the day

Back in the day, like my grandma used to say
She was a single mom, raising my mom
With the money she made
Working in a beauty salon
Her husband was gone, and her plans got changed
Still she did the best she could
Back in the day
Cause it's her eyes, and she gets so far away
She's talking at the floor
Your grand-daddy bought me that piano
After he came home from the war
You know the world keeps getting stranger
But I still feel the same
I love you now like I loved you then
Back in the day
I had a pair of kangaroos
Not the animals, but the tennis shoes
Kept my lunch money in a pocket on the side
I was convinced that the shoes made me jump high
I guess it was because of the name
Still I loved the idea just the same
Cause it's her eyes, and she gets so far away
Feels more like a dream
That's your daddy with a moustache
That's your mommy being free
You know the world keeps getting stranger
But I still feel the same
I love you now like I loved you then
Afgahn rugs and tapestries
Made from memories and dreams
Growing old or growing young
I'll hold you in my heart
(???)
Cause it's her eyes, and she gets so far away
She's talking at the floor
Your grand-daddy bought me that piano
After he came home from the war
You know the world keeps getting stranger
But I still feel the same
I love you now like I loved you then
You know I need you now like I needed you then
You know I love you now like I loved you then
Like I loved you
Back in the day
