From the recording The Waiting Game
Folk Rock - What it was like - Berkeley in the 60's, San Francisco's Summer of Love, sit-ins and human be-ins, psychedelia ... Bill plays a "save the world" solo on this one. Rich Brotherton created a sixties groove for this track playing acoustic & electric guitar, bass & tambourine, Bill Kirchen on electric guitar, Rick Richards on drums. "Memories of mine, leads that blow your mind." Inviting you to travel back in time with me to those mighty times that were a-changin'.
Lyrics
BACK IN THE DAY
Louise Kirchen
BACK IN THE DAY WE THOUGHT WE FOUND THE WAY
BACK IN THE DAY WE THOUGHT WE FOUND THE WAY
CUT TO THE CHASE AND RUN, CUT TO THE CHASE AND RUN
NIGHT AFTER NIGHT WE THOUGHT WE GOT IT RIGHT
NIGHT AFTER NIGHT WE THOUGHT WE GOT IT RIGHT
OUR DAY HAD JUST BEGUN, OUR DAY HAD JUST BEGUN
CHILDREN OF THE SUN
ODDS A MILLION TO ONE
THAT THE WORLD WOULD EVER SEE
LES ENFANTS DU PARADIS
OUT IN THE SQUARE WE SAID IT WASN’T FAIR
OUT IN THE SQUARE WE SAID IT WASN’T FAIR
THEY HAD TEAR GAS AND GUNS, THEY USED TEAR GAS AND GUNS
WE HEARD A VOICE THAT SAID WE HAD A CHOICE
WE HEARD A VOICE THAT SAID WE HAD A CHOICE
SING WE SHALL OVERCOME, WE SHALL OVERCOME
NINETEEN SIXTY NINE
WAS A FLOWER POWERFUL TIME
WITH HEARTS ON FIRE WE BLAZED THE TRAIL
SOME OF US LIVED TO TELL THE TALE
BACK IN THE DAY THE MUSIC WAS OUR WAY
BACK IN THE DAY WE ALL LEARNED HOW TO PLAY
MELODIES AND RHYMES, LEADS THAT BLOW YOUR MIND
MEMORIES OF MINE
BACK IN THE DAY THE MUSIC WAS OUR WAY
BACK IN THE DAY WE ALL LEARNED HOW TO PLAY
MELODIES AND RHYMES, LEADS THAT BLOW YOUR MIND
MEMORIES OF MINE
