Elvis Presley - Talk About The Good Times

Talk About The Good Times

(Jerry Reed Hubbard)
Well I remember when I was as children
The time the people used to treat the neighbor like a fellow man
And all their singin and big prayer meetins
When a man was proud to walk up and shake his neighbors hand
Oh you talk about the good times,
Talk about the good times
Oh if you ever needed help a friend was there
Some good neighbor
Help lift your burden
Mmm, and the simple joys of life a friend would share
Times are harder and the people are changin
Now most folks couldnt tell you who their neighbors are
All their guns are loaded, the front doors are bolted
Aint this ol world takin hate and fear just a little too far
Oh you talk about the good times,
Talk about the good times
I wish I could go back to the days Imspeakin of
When a friend would meet you
And a smile would greet you
What this ol world needs now is a little old fashioned love
My granddaddy God rest his soul now
Well we had a big long talk together the day he died
Said son this world is full of hate and venom
An I can not wait to leave this ol place and rest on the other side
Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times
Talk about the good times
Imgonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol days
Well have a big hand shakin
An sit and talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away
Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times
Talk about the good times
Imgonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol days
Well have a big hand shakin
An sit and talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away
Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times
Talk about the good times
Imgonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol days
Well have a big hand shakin
An sit and talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away
