Michael Franti was dissin my culture, so I opened up a big can of Duff beer on his ass

G
Robbie, Jim and me put a band together
C D
I remember how it made us proud
G
When we learned how to play some Neil Young tunes
C D
We were bad, but we were loud

G
We'd practice down in the basement
C D
Learning songs off the radio
G
While dad was grilling up bergers and franks
C D
Out back on the patio

Chorus
Em D Em D
Life was good back then, better than we ever knew
Em D C D
We didn't have the year 2008 to compare it to
G C D
Back in the day (oooooooh oohhh)
G C D
Back in the day (oooooooh oohhh)
G C D
Back in the day (oooooooh oohhh)
G C D
Back in the day (oooooooh oohhh)


Hanging out and drinking cold beer
In the hazy summer heat
Driving my camero
Down Springwater Street

Friday nights meant football games
And cruising through downtown
And parking up on Skyline Drive
With my girlfriend Wanda Brown

Chorus
Around the corner at Memorial Park
My brother played basketball
Sis would hang out with her freinds
At Valley North Shopping Mall

Weekends were spent on the lake
At the cabin and on the boat
We'd water ski and swim all day
Now it all seems so remote

Chorus
