Story behind the song
I heard Michael Frante on the radio talking about how he was never into that beer drinkin camaro drivin skyline parkin Neil Young song learnin basketball around the corner playin yibba jabba scene. Hey, I hated those guys too in high school, but as a natural born contrarian I decided to stick up for them. The song almost wrote itself. Or should I say, Michael Frante almost wrote it.
Lyrics
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
