Talk About The Good Times - Buddha Remastered - 2000

Well I remember when I was just a children
 A time when the people used to treat their neighbors like a fellow man
 Them all day singin' and them big prayer meetin's
 When a man was proud to walk up and shake on his neighbor's hand
 Lord you talk about the good times talk about the good times
 Oh if you ever needed help a friend was there
 Some good neighbor would help lift your burden
 Oh and the simple joys of life your friends would share
 But the times are harder and the people are changin'
 Today most folks couldn't tell ya who their next door neighbors are
 All the guns are loaded the front doors are bolted
 Ain't this old world takin' hate and fear just a little too far
 Let's talk about the good times let's talk about the good times
 I wish I could just go back to the days I'm speakin' of
 When a friend would meet you and a smile would greet you
 What this old world needs now is more old fashioned love
 [ guitar ]
 Well my old granddaddy God rest his soul now
 Well we had a big long talk together the day he died
 He said son this world is so full of hate and venom
 And I can't wait to leave this ol' place and rest on the other side
 Cause you talk about the good time talk about the good time
 Well I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good old days
 We'll have a big hand shakin' and sit and talk together
 Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our cares away
 Yeah you talk about the good time talk about the good time
 Talk about the good time yeah
