Back In Style
There's a picture of Grandpa and Grandma
outside of an old A&W
Hes got his rimmed glasses on
and her hairs in a bun
you can tell that they thought they were cool
Sometimes i ask grandpa about it
what it was like growing up like they did
oh and i love the way it lights up his face
every time he goes back there again
To big cars, big dreams
when you could work on a farm and make a living
i think progress is fine
but every once and a while
i wish the 50's could come back in style
He said I've seen some changes you'll never see
from general stores to super Wal-Marts
from black and white to colour
smaller, cheaper, faster
and if i could, I'd still turn that clock back
cause life was so good
that all that we had were.
Big cars, big dreams
when you could work on a farm and make a living
i think progress is fine
but every once and a while
i wish the 50's could come back in style
So baby why don't we park
at the drive in tonight
fog the windows
and trace our names inside
and ill take ya home
like i used to do
and we'll talk on the porch till midnight about.
Big cars, big dreams
when you could work on a farm and make a living
i think progress is fine
but every once and a while
i wish the 50's could come back in style
oh i wish the 50's could come back in style
