White van, five of us packed in,
Those days were cool,
On the I-95 to Orlando, there were no rules,
Just swimming pools, at the Days Inn,
Spending days in.
Papa was a stone rolling,
Mama used to hold a lot in,
But we were just kids back then.
Stealing candy from a store-that was a lick back then,
Man, I miss them days.
Peanut butter jelly on a lunch tray, yeah yeah,
Pancakes cooking on a Sunday, yeah yeah.
Better days, better days,
Those were the better days-damn, I miss them days.
I remember living life on the prairie, you know,
Nothing to lose, everything to gain.
Years go by, and things change,
I miss them days, man.
Those days are long gone,
When it's over, we'll be older,
Thinking back to where we came from.
Summer's faster, it's nearly over,
It's not as long as it once was.
I won't forget you,
I'll always respect you,
It's a cold world, but you made me tough.
The demons in my head make it so hard to sleep,
I promise I'll keep on waking up.
