The Old Breed - Days Gone By Lyrics

Putting those old records on remembering days long gone
Seems like yesterday I heard it all for the first time
So many years ago wide eyed and new
Carefree and all of those old sounds ringing true
It didn't take too long to say good bye to my youth
A young man with spiky hair and brand new combat boots
Finally found a place a place where I belonged
Inside the anger of all of those old songs

Feeling a little nostalgic for those good ol days
When everything seemed like it was trial by fire
We went all or nothing wore our hearts on our sleeves
Wore our hearts on our f*cking sleeves

Was it just me or did the sun seem brighter
Those days seem longer and full of a new promise
Twenty plus years in don't know where the time went
Great times great memories and all the people that I met
Don't know what I'd change if I ever got the chance
Some say it's a wasted life I just say I walk my own path
Live our lives in the underground dirty dives and dirty bars
Punks and skins and hooligans cause that's who we f*cking are

That's enough time spent living in the past
Brand new days are in front of me cause I was built to last
Still down here in these trenches fighting the good fight
It's not about paying dues it's doing what you know is right
Gotta live in these moments before they fade away
Because once these moments pass you by the belong to yesterday
I will always remember how I became who I am today
I will always remember how I became the man I am today
