Slim Dusty Good Old Days
[Slim]
With misty eyes we reminisce
About the good old days,
Family and friends, the old home town,
Are easy goin' ways,
[Shorty]
They don't do things the way we did,
They don't know how.
[Slim & Shorty]
But these will be the good old days,
Twenty years from now.
[Slim]
Age will fade the heartaches,
Time will dry the tears,
Memories of good times,
Glow brighter through the years.
[Shorty]
But songs will sound much sweeter then;
They age like wine,
[Slim]
Troubles too will drop away
Like leaves falls from the vine.
[Slim & Shorty]
And when the band plays it's last waltz
And takes its final bow,
These will be the good old days,
Twenty years from now.
[Instrumental]

And takes its final bow.
[Slim and Shorty]
Yes these will be the good old days,
Twenty years from now.
Remember these will be the good old days,
Twenty years from now. That's right!
