I remember all my golden days
Running careless along Wickerman Bay
Shucking corn with dad while he told me about his day
But I've grown a little older now
I've lived a lifetime and raised a few of my own
But in my old age I still love to watch them play
I love to watch the kids as I look out my window
They chase the cars down Callahan Lane
I remember being a kid here
Back in my golden days
I get a kick out of Bobby and Mindy
They think they're hidin' behind that tree
Whoever told me the golden days are over
Oh I see here the golden days
I remember all my golden days
That there's the place I heard my Betty first say
I love you
And rockets went off in the deep blue sky
We were married in this here yard
Our folks gathered, they didn't have to come that far
We all lived around here
And here is where I'll always stay
I love to watch the kids as I look out my window
They chase the cars down Callahan Lane
I remember being a kid here
Back in my golden days
I get a kick out of Bobby and Mindy
They think they're hidin' behind that tree
Whoever told me the golden days are over
Oh I see here the golden days
Callahan Lane is all I have
And I'll never leave
Too much of me here on this land
And I'll never leave
These are still all my golden days
The kids come over and they ask if I want to play
And I toss that ball
It brings out the youth I refuse to lose
I turned 80 just a week ago
My mind is young, though my body's old
And I owe it all around here
And here is where I'll always stay
I love to watch the kids as I look out my window
They chase the cars down Callahan Lane
I remember being a kid here
Back in my golden days
I get a kick out of Bobby and Mindy
They think they're hidin' behind that tree
Whoever told me the golden days are over
Oh I see here the golden days
