Lyrics
Like the house on fire
I couldn't look it was burning my eyes
Thirteen years old we lost our house
Everyone knew but no one helped out
Got faster on my bike
Came in drunk past midnight
Found my mom passed out on the floor
She was working too hard too hard

The good old days when things were better
Sometimes I wish I could go back
The good old days when things were better
Sometimes I wish I could go back
The good old days when things were better
Sometimes I wish I could go back

Tore my gown on the way to show
Got in the bath but the water was cold
The band was waiting as I poured my tea
We used to laugh when I sang off key
No money but the summer was long
Sometimes I miss just carrying on
No time when I'm on the road
Dad says I'm working too hard too hard

The good old days when things were better
Sometimes I wish I could go back
The good old days when things were better
Sometimes I wish I could go back
The good old days when things were better
Sometimes I wish I could go back

(Growing up we didn't have that much but we weren't poor, we weren't poor)
(Growing up we didn't have that much but we weren't poor, we had so much more)
