We never had that much to do 
So we just lay around in someone's house 
Someday I'll have it all again 
Just like way back when 

(Verse) 
Back then we'd sleep until the afternoon 
And we'd just get up and go outside 
Open a window, let the breeze blow in, 
Forget everything 
 [bad word]  
Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing 
When I'm older, when I'm gray and when I'll stop working 
I hope that I can say 
When all my days are done 
We were just having fun 

(Verse) 
Well we'd go drinking in the afternoon 
Lie out on the grass, so fall asleep 
Oh will I ever see that girl again? 
The girl from way back when 

(Verse) 
Yea, we used to share a cigarette 
And throw together everything we had 
And then you're driving in my parents' car 
And loving straight til you fall 
 [bad word]  
Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing 
When I'm older, when I'm gray and when I'll stop working 
I hope that I can say 
When all my days are done 
That I had my fun 

Those will be the days that won my soul 

(Bridge) 
Yea, in time we moved so fast 
Some things are made to last 
I'm here to see you, my dear old friend 
From way back when 
 [bad word]  
Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing 
When I'm older, when I'm gray and when I'll stop working 
I hope that I can say 
When all my days are done 
That I had my fun
