Elvis Presley - Talk About the Good Times lyrics

Album: Good Times (1974)

Well I remember when I was as children
The time the people used to treat the neighbor like a fellow man
And all their singin´ & big prayer meetin´s
When a man was proud to walk up & shake his neighbors hand

Oh you talk about the good times,
Talk about the good times
Oh if you ever needed help a friend was there
Some good neighbor
Help lift your burden
Mmm, & the simple joys of life a friend would share

Times are harder & the people are changin´
Now most folks couldn´t tell you who their neighbors are
All their guns are loaded, the front doors are bolted
Aint this ol´ world takin´ hate & fear just a little too far

Oh you talk about the good times,
Talk about the good times
I wish I could go back to the days I am speakin of
When a friend would meet you
And a smile would greet you
What this ol´ world needs now is a little old fashioned love

My granddaddy God rest his soul now
Well we had a big long talk together the day he died
Said son this world is full of hate & venom
An´ I cannot wait to leave this ol´ place & rest on the other side

Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times
Talk about the good times
I am going to see all the friends I knew in the good ol´ days
We will have a big hand shakin´
An´ sit & talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan & sing our blues away

Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times
Talk about the good times
I am going to see all the friends I knew in the good ol´ days
We will have a big hand shakin´
An´ sit & talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan & sing our blues away

Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times
Talk about the good times
I am going to see all the friends I knew in the good ol´ days
We will have a big hand shakin´
An´ sit & talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan & sing our blues away
