Back in the Day - Nelson

We take it in at the movies

You pitch us on tv

All of you latest and greatest scams

All your flavors of the week

So you’re confused by that retro sound

And why it just keeps coming back around?

(well cuz…)

Back in the day

We felt we could do the impossible

Back in the day

All our dreams were simply unstoppable

Back in the day

You went and lowered the standards

And thought we never knew

Well, you can hail shit a thousand times

But that don’t make it groove

That’s why you can’t make us walk away

from a soundtrack that still sounds great (because)

Back in the day

We were free to be anything we wanted to

Back in the day

We believed there was nothing that we couldn’t do

Before they taught us the fear to fly

Before we sold out and ceased to try

The radio was our saving grace

Yeah, our heros showed us the way

Back in the day

Our classic 45's are nothing less that time machines

Press play to spin then climb right in

and take that trip to what you need

They break us out — they see us through

We’re ten feet tall and bullet proof

Wouldn’t want to know what to do without those songs we play

From back in the day

Back in the day

When we were nothing short of incredible

They broke us out — they got us through

Made us ten feet tall and bullet proof

Yeah, they made me like they made you

those magic songs they play

From back in the day
