[C]
Hey, when was the last time you sat down and had dinner with your kids?

Talked about what's going on in their lives?
[F]
Hey, when was the last time you just stopped and helped somebody out?

[Am]
Well a lot of people are sayin'
[Bb]
"We're changing for the better"

The way it used to be

We left our doors wide open
[F]
We didn't need no key
[C]
I've been around the world
[Am]
Seen all there is to see
[Bb]                         [F]
I'd trade all those memories for one more day

How it used to be

I like the Simple Life

[C]
I wanna get up Sunday mornin'

Go fishin' with my boy

Watch the sunset kick back in my yard
[F]
Take my Harley on a real long lazy Sunday drive
[C]
And do a little more nothin' once in a while

[Am]
Yeah maybe kick my feet up
[Bb]
Watch a little re-run on TV
