Elvis Presley - Talk About The Good Times lyrics

Well I remember when I was as children

The time the people used to treat

the neighbor like a fellow man

And all their singin` and big prayer meetin`s

When a man was proud to walk up

and shake his neighbors hand

Oh you talk about the good times,

Talk about the good times

Oh if you ever needed help a friend was there

Some good neighbor

Help lift your burden

Mmm, and the simple joys

of life a friend would share

Times are harder and the people are changin` Now most folks couldn`t tell you who their neighbors are All their guns are loaded, the front doors are bolted Ain`t this ol` world takin` hate and fear just a little too far Oh you talk about the good times, Talk about the good times I wish I could go back to the days I`m speakin of When a friend would meet you And a smile would greet you What this ol` world needs now is a little old fashioned love My granddaddy God rest his soul now Well we had a big long talk together the day he died Said son this world is full of hate and venom An` I can`t wait to leave this ol` place and rest on the other side Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times Talk about the good times I`m gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol` days We`ll have a big hand shakin` An` sit and talk together Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times Talk about the good times I`m gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol` days We`ll have a big hand shakin` An` sit and talk together Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times Talk about the good times I`m gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol` days We`ll have a big hand shakin` An` sit and talk together Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away
