Lyrics

[INTRO]
Grew up in Virginia, a family of five,
Those memories linger, they keep us alive.
From whispers of childhood, echoes of play,
In the rearview mirror, they take me away.
[VERSE 1]
Three years old, in the middle of the night,
He came in, eyes wide, with a grin that was bright.
“It’s a lucky day,” he said, just like a bud,
Wrapped in his dreams, we were muddied in love.
Sister at Christmas, tearing through the wraps,
“Look what you got, baby!” she clapped in her laps.
Red Rider BB gun, oh, jumping on the couch,
Meatloaf on the stereo, we’d sing and we’d vouch.
[CHORUS]
Oh, those days were golden, like a sweet summer song,
In a world full of laughter, where we all belonged.
Feel the echoes of yesterday, memories we hold,
A family that’s precious, a story untold.
[VERSE 2]
Mom throwing popsicles, a splash on the window,
92 Accord, with our brick phone's glow.
Blue birthday cake, “Go Joe!” in the air,
GI Joe adventures, ‘round the yard we’d dare.
Then we moved to Georgia, in a mansion unknown,
Thinking we were rich, finally on our own.
No more sharing a room, we got space to play,
Ocean City memories, sun-kissed days.
[CHORUS]
Oh, those days were golden, like a sweet summer song,
In a world full of laughter, where we all belonged.
Feel the echoes of yesterday, memories we hold,
A family that’s precious, a story untold.
[BRIDGE]
But time slipped away, like sand through our hands,
Dad made excuses, couldn’t take the stands.
Understanding now, life’s not always fair,
Broken hearts made us, with love we still share.
[VERSE 3]
Looking back it was amazing, oh how I wish,
To rewind those moments, like an old favorite dish.
All I can do now, is cherish the knack,
With love for my four-pack and no looking back.
[CHORUS]
Oh, those days were golden, like a sweet
