"Simpler Times" by Michael Traveler



i long for simpler times ...

for dusty roads and
fields of gold
rickety barns
standing guard o'er
rolling waves of grain


time spent explorin'
treasures
fading with each passing season
rusty junk from ages past
oh how our imaginations fly

up into the clouds
just floatin' by

oh how i long
for those lazy days
we shared you and i

jumpin' fences
skippin' rocks
'crossin' bridges
climbin' hay lofts
pretendin' we're drivin'
to far away places
on grand adventures
in grandpa's ol' car

how i long for simpler days
far from the chaos of
all that we've made

how i wish things had stayed
how i wish we had stayed
in the good ol' days
