Lyrics
I was raised living wild and wore out boots
Handshakes strong, and tellin’ the truth
Grandma taught manners,
Grandpa showed pride
Fix a flat, build a fire, never run and hide
West Coast sunsets, Northern Cali in my soul
Off-road trails where the river runs cold
Lake jumps wild, hearts open wide
Now it’s ghosted texts and too much pride
Take me back to slow dance under stars
Bonfires burnin’ and Jeeps with big tires
When I’d pick you up, not just link a pin
Knew your street, your heart, your next of kin
Chivalry ain’t gone, it’s just been masked
By rosters, likes, and midnight asks
Good men finish last, or so they say
But I miss the love from the good old days
Open your door, hold your hand tight
Flowers on Tuesday just ’cause it felt right
Eyes that sparkle, not screens that dim
When she flipped her hair, I’d lose my mind
Taught to respect, not chase the game
Now love’s a gamble, never stays the same
Situationships with no roots to grow
Where did all the real ones go?
Take me back to slow dance under stars
Bonfires burnin’ and Jeeps with big tires
When I’d pick you up, not just link a pin
Knew your street, your heart, your next of kin
Chivalry ain’t gone, it’s just been masked
By rosters, likes, and midnight asks
Good men finish last, or so they say
But I miss the love from the good old days
Two-step in the sand, surf kissin’ the shore
I’d trade all the swipes for that front porch door
Where love was a promise, not a maybe or phase
We lived for the moment, not likes or praise
Take me back to slow dance under stars
Bonfires burnin’ and Jeeps with big tires
When I’d pick you up, not just hit “you up”
When loyalty meant more than just luck
I ain’t changin’ for trends that never last
Yeah, I’ll wear the badge of a heart held fast
Good men finish last… but we still stay
Holdin’ on to the love from the good old days
Yeah, take me back… to the good old days…
