Story behind the song
Ahhh, the good ole' days
Lyrics
You wake a day and you realize your life aint the same
To look back on the times when the children were sane
Played after dark and never worried cause our lives were still free
That was the Spirit, The spirit of 73
You look back at the decades of change
And the good times so far away- Far away
Another Day another child takes a life while they play
A baby girl finds a gun while her mothers away
Another place a boy begs for a dollar to eat
Bring back the Spirit, the spirit of 73
You look back at the decades of change
And the good times so far away- Far away
Solo
You look back at the decades of change
And the good times so far away- Far away
A time will come when the pain will all be taken away
Some other time another place, light gives way to the day
Until that time we’ll have to live on our hope and our dreams
And live the spirit, the spirit of 73
You look back at the decades of change
And the good times so far away- Far away
