lyrics

As is his habit he's sitting with the TV on
watching static and old reruns
And he's seen them all before so he knows what will happen next
No surprises and no regrets

His family comes to visit him
asks about his medicine
but they seem so tense
Why they have to scream at him?
he's only hard of hearing them
when they make no sense

But the good old days
come through nice and warm
on the modern waves
that cut right through the storm
when he tries real hard
he can tune them in
and be transported back
to when life made sense

He turns up the volume to block out the traffic sounds
from the highway they just laid down
on his little country road where he's live for half a century
for its peace and tranquility

but everything is faster now
not just the speed limit
his kids with their computers
and grandkids on their internets

but the good old days
come through nice and warm
on the modern waves
that cut right through the storm
when he tries real hard
he can tune them in
and be transported back
to when life made sense
