A little house with three bedrooms and one car on the street
|
In the kitchen on the wall we only had one phone,
|
We only had a living room where we would congregate,
|
We only had one TV set, and channels maybe two, |
For snacks we had potato chips that tasted like a chip,
|
Store-bought snacks were rare because my mother liked to cook, |
The snacks were even healthy with the best ingredients,
|
Weekends were for family trips or staying home to play, |
When we did our weekend trips depending on the weather,
|
Sometimes we would separate to do things on our own,
|
Then there were the picnics at the peak of summer season,
|
Get a baseball game together with all the friends you know,
|
Remember when the doctor used to be the family friend,
|
Remember going to the store and shopping casually, And when you went to pay for it you used your own money? |
Nothing that you had to swipe or punch in some amount,
|
Remember when we breathed the air; it smelled so fresh and clean,
|
There was a time when mailed letters came right to your door,
|
One time the music that you played whenever you would jive,
|
The record player had a post to keep them all in line,
