A zest for life, passed from one generation to the next.

Wooly Old Days
© 2013 The Squirrel Hillbillies

My old man, drove an old Ford
Seersucker suit, knocking on doors
Checking his list for the next woman's name

He’d sell her a Bible, walking right in
He’d talk about life and how loneliness was such a sin
Then she'd smile and ask him to stay

Fed by the faithful, led by the stars
He followed the road and steered with his heart
All that he needed coming his way
In those days, those wild, wooly old days

Dad didn’t leave me his charm or good looks
Just the key to his Ford and a stack of Good Books
I learned all the verses then gave them away

I drove to the heartland and slept with the trees
Listened to rivers that washed over me
Every bird, worm, and pebble had something to say

Living a different American dream
Without any junk bonds or pyramid schemes
All that I needed coming my way
In those days, those wild, wooly old days

Words on the page are too small to read
Blinded by scenes flashing up on the screen
I put on the coffee, pull down the shades

My son comes to visit, Sundays at five
He lights up the room with the news of his life
I smile as I listen, and ask him to stay

Someday soon gonna sink through the floor
Meet my old man, climb in his Ford
All that we need will keep coming our way
Like those days, those wild, wooly old days
Those days, those wild, wooly old days
Those days, those wild, wooly old days
