My dad would drive us down to Melbourne
Just to see a rock n' roll show
Poison and Bon Jovi
Now it seems so long ago

And we'd smoke them big time cigarettes
As we lay beneath the stars
And we'd talk about the girls
Hell man, I wonder where they are

Yeah, those were the days, they were the days
The nights were ours and the days we ruled
Back when we were cool

We tied our jumpers round out waists
And we thought that we were kings
Fifteen and wishing we were older
Yeah, I remember everything

You told me 'bout the time
You snuck a girl into your room
She turned you right into a man
I wish that had happened to me too

Yeah, they were the days, those were the days
Yeah the girls were young we sure had 'em fooled
Back when we were cool

I don't think I've changed so much
Even after all these years
I'm still playin' on my old guitar
New Jersey ringin' in my ears

Yeah, they were the days, those were the days
The nights were ours and the days we ruled
Back when we were cool
