FAWM: "Back In The Day"

Back In The Day

Liner Notes

Lyrics

Tommy met Tracy at school one day She held his hand, he didn’t know what to say But she smiled as she walked away And for the rest of his life it was his favourite day

Tracy bought some clothes that she couldn’t afford Tommy bought a guitar and he learned some chords But he was out when she called And for the rest of his life it was his saddest day

Lost and found, out of bounds Dancing backs to the wall Safe and sound, steady ground Throwing the books out from school Take my hand and we’ll run a-way

Years and tears all flowed so fast Dreams and fears are never made to last The distances between became so vast Until all the good things were back in the day

Lost and found, out of bounds Dancing backs to the wall Safe and sound, steady ground Throwing the books out from school Take my hand and we’ll run away

Oh yeah it was back in the day, just back in the day

I love the story of this, makes me feel like a starry eyed teenager and a blurry eyed middle ager all in one song. Great vibes

Favourite day! Glad you put this on FAWM, so I can listen with lyrics. Just realised that Tracy and Tommy take me back a couple of decades, which I guess was the point :)
