Lyrics:
Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Sometimes it feels like this world's gone crazy
And Grandpa, take me back to yesterday
When the line between right and wrong
Didn't seem so hazy
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other, come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say and then forget
Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddies really never go away?
Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Grandpa, everything is changing fast
We call it progress, but I just don't know
And Grandpa, let's wander back into the past
And paint me the picture of long ago
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other, come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say and then forget
Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddies really never go away?
Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Songwriters: Jamie O'hara
Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout The Good Old Days) lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

Hey friends! Thanks so much for the overwhelming response to this song. For all of you dealing with loss, my heart goes out to you. I only wanted to put this song out as a reminder to the world how family values used to be so important. What I’ve received in return other than amazing support, is stories of people who are missing a loved one. I’m so grateful for all the stories of love that y’all are sharing on here. I encourage you to read other comments and help each other out. None of us are alone here. Maybe we can take this small opportunity to love one another. It’s a safe place that only a special few will prolly ever see. If you feel like sharing this song with someone who might need it, I’d also be eternally grateful. I could use your help to reach more people. SPREAD LOVE LIKE PEANUT BUTTER

Hey y’all, my family!! I am so proud to share this. I loved this song as a kid. And it means even more to me now. This song isn’t really about grandpa...it’s about how far we’ve strayed from the simple, good values that the previous generation represents. I long for the days where we loved more than we fought. I love this song. I hope you do too. SLLPB Ps. This is my wife, mom, and dad in the video. They were troopers. Haha

I’m here after my papa passed away yesterday. He was in his 80’s and didn’t have enough time to be put in a a hospice home. I drove to him with all my kids to take care of him for two days, clean him up check on him. He was like a dad to me. All I have is some things of his and voicemails I’ve kept. He was the best. It’s only been a day but I miss him so much. But I’m glad he’s no longer in pain and with my mama (grandma now). It’s been 12 years without her and I think he was ready to go with her. I’m so happy they are together now 😭❤️

I lost my grandpa Abe last week. He was 98 years old and such an amazing man. He served in WW2 as a waste gunner on a b24 liberator in Italy and was even blessed by the pope! He became a chemist for General Electric and was married to my grandma for 66 years before she passed in 2015. I'm gonna miss him 😢 Sunday dinners at his house when I was a kid are still my best memories. He valued his family and loved his grandsons He was the best cook! I can only hope to be half the man he was one day.

This song combined with his pure joy in his eyes as he stood out of his wheelchair to dance with her had the entire room in tears. Thank you for such a beautiful song.

I met the man I call my Grandpa when I was about 10 years old. He married my Grandma and really took his role as a grandparent to heart. I remember him telling me and my brother stories of when he was my age and bagging his first deer, the first time he taught me a song to play on guitar, eating deer meat for breakfast with him and grandma, and spotting all the critters around the property, and many more memories. On my 11th birthday, he gave me my first guitar, and he is the reason why I became a musician and eventually a guitar builder. This year, he won't be able to see me turn 29, after passing away a few months ago. I miss you, Grandpa. I can only hope to live up to your example.

The thing I remember the most about him were his fishing trips he used to take me on and the stories he gave me to hold on to. They weren't just stories. They were life lessons and advice for later. He knew that then. I didn't realize that until I was older. Thank you B.W. Pruitt. Miss you so much.
