We were wild and young and willing, to give up anything it took
  To get to where we were going, you could read us like a book
  Our nights were hot, filled with a lot, of lovers and dreams and songs
  And mornings mostly found us in places we did not belong
  
  But those were the days (those were the days)
  Man those were the days (those were the days)
  We listened to the songs Bob Dylan wrote
  We sat there stoned and amazed
  We forgot to eat, we forgot to sleep
  Searching for the perfect line
  So here's to the good old days, baby, one more time
  
  I remember Jimmy saying, if he had two blues and a beer
  He might get some sleep tonight, give his head a chance to clear
  I reminded him of an old girlfriend singing at a bar called Slim's
  And I recall him doing lot's of things that night,
  But sleeping wasn't one of them
  
  But those were the days (those were the days)
  Man those were the days (those were the days)
  We learned all the songs the Beatles sang
  We even tried Purple Haze
  We forgot to eat, we forgot to sleep
  Searching for the perfect rhyme
  So here's to the good old days, baby, one more time
  
  We were wild and young and willing, we are still are in some ways
  Every now and then we still have one of them good old days
  And it makes me proud when I think out loud
  About lovers and dreams and songs
  And how it always kept me going and the best ones are never gone
  
  But those were the days (those were the days)
  Man those were the days (those were the days)
  We learned all the songs by Hank and Lefty
  There must have been a thousand ways
  We forgot to eat, we forgot to sleep
  And all but the very best lines
  And even a few of those from time to time
  
  But those were the days (those were the days)
  Man those were the days (those were the days)
  So here's to the good old days, baby, one more time
