Hey, hey, yey  Those days (those days)  Those days (those days)  Walk around the neighborhood  Where my old friends ain't like they should  Should've done my best  Only books in their life will shine  So much trouble in their minds  Better days aren't behind  Looking back in yesterday  Things don't ever feel the same  My friends faces on my mind  chorus  Days of youth  Play on my mind  All on my mind  Days of youth  Hanging on my mind  All on my mind  Hey yeah  On my mind (my mind)  Hey, ah, hey now  Back when playin' was the game  Mama said don't let God catch your butt out  Don't let time slip away  Mama's word stays on my mind  I never noticed it was dark  I'm still playing at the park  Sneaking slowly to my room  But can't nothing pass Mama by  Now those tears roll down my face  She said wipe your eyes  Then she kissed me and held me tight  chorus  Hey, ah  Ah yeah  Do you remember  Those days  My Lord (Lord)  My God  My Lord those days  Oh Lord, hey  I remember those days  chorus  Days of youth  I'm remember those days  Da da di da da di
