There’s one simple common issue, that changed everything. The internet. Love it or hate it, it destroyed that world we grew up in. 80’s babies were the last generation to remember those sweet times
I miss the days of innocence. Riding bikes outside, only needing to be home before the street lights came on. Kissing a girl you liked. Friends who just showed up at your house to just go somewhere. Any where. No plans.
I saw a meme with a picture of a bunch of bikes in a front yard, with the caption “How you knew where everyone was”…I laughed, and then got a little sad…
Been playing country music all my life. I'm 64 now. This is the world I grew up in. And wish we had more like it today. There's not enough kids playing in the dirt.wiyha garden hose..
@James 23 I’m not stuck with him, there are alternatives, there are classic country stations out there, Texas /Red Dirt music is still country not this pop crap.
I miss those days life was so much simpler . People were easy to talk to. I miss eating at the dinner table with the family. I miss just the way life was back then
I'm 50 now, but boy this song is so true. When childhood was fun and free. I appreciate this song, the accuracy. WE did turn out Alright 🤓 I didn't realize back then, how good we had it, compared to today's generation, and before them.
I'm 43 and I loved my childhood, it was so much simpler, people actually saw one another. I'm so glad I grew up before technology and all the hate that's in this world now. Never knew how good I had it back then.
I wish we could get back to that different world when people cared about each other. I will be 77 in about 2 weeks and that was some good times growing up in the 50s and 60s.
Happy early birthday, may you be blessed to see many more. And you were fortunate to grow up in those days. 42 years old here and honestly I can say the good ole days like those times are long gone behind us now. Crazy how the world is these days. It’s a crying shame honestly.
I'm 58, and I miss those times. The world would be a better place and the children would be able to handle life's trials better if it was still like that.
I'll be turning 34 this September 2024 and this song takes me back 20 years ago when all of us kids weren't allowed inside 🤣 we would play football, and jump ramps with our bikes, and climb to the top of the trees, god I miss those days what a time we all had. I feel like we were the last of the yard kids before phones and technology took over.
Hello Mary 👋 Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..
Its 2023 and still one of the top 3 songs that remind me of way life was and still should be! And pulls my heart strings and raises the hairs on my neck! Absolutely hands down couldn have changed one word of this song and made it any better!! My hats off to you Bucky! Flat amazing!
What are your other two? I'm always on the lookout for nostalgic songs. We enjoy Avicii's O brother... I think that's the name of it. It has a patriotic ring to it.
MAANNNN, this song takes you back to all those good memories! Riding bikes & playing in the streets hollering “CAR” lol. When the street lights came on it’s time to be heading home, letting the water run out of the hose till it cooled off. It’s a Different World..for sure!
I am glad I grew up in a time and world that I actually understand this song and love it! So sad younger people won't understand this concept. Thanks for putting it into lyrics and music for all of us! It's the equivalent to a history lesson!!!
Any time I get frustrated with today’s craziness.I turn this song on and close my eyes and remember my childhood and how much I wish things were the way they used to be. Like he said. Different time, different world…. Glad to have been a part of that different world. Made me who I am today.

This is one of those hidden jems that you are reminded of every once in a while and play it for a couple days and then it’s a year before you hear it again. But it always makes you feel the same way
I'm 16 but I grew up like this. Rode my bike without a helmet, went outside and played, ran all around town without having to worry. When I was a little kid you couldn't keep me in the house.
I loved growing up when I was a kid, born in 1953! We played outside, rode bikes, played Volleyball over a bicycle! We weren't scared, my whole street had so many kids, we were all friends! Those were the good old days!
I was born in 57, I loved the 60's and early 70's. I would give anything just to go back for a few days. I think about it everyday, and it's so sad what this world has become.
@@rosethorne5066 Yeah, my granddaughter is 11, never got to do the things I did as a kid! Made sure my daughter born in 1981, still got to have fun! I got out and played wiffle ball baseball games on 4 corners of our street, coached her softball team! She, (We) had fun!
With the Vietnam War, Watergate, the OPEC oil embargo, stagflation and the Ayatollah holding America hostage and a peanut farmer in the White House who wouldn't do anything about it we sure as hell didn't feel happy at the time!
65 yo here and this video with the images hits hard. Unfortunately that world has been replaced with evil klown world. I was just looking at my childhood home in NH, a small ranch home built in 1952. My parents paid $14k, dad was in the Air Force. The house is now valued at $513k. American dream is gone. I had to move overseas in retirement to afford life.

Yeah, had to let it run for a minute so it could cool off! I played outside for hours at a time! We played tag, played Volley ball over my bicycle! Loved beinging outside!
You 2021 Boys & Girls need a different world. I'm almost 50 as I type this, crying, with my last of 9, a 4yr old boy on my lap. He doesn't know why I'm crying; but I explained they're "good" tears. He'll never get my belt because I show him love, Jesus, and I'm not afraid to cry when I'm happy, or sad. God bless
I heard this song a million times but never actually listened to the lyrics. It came up on my Spotify the other day and now I’m hooked! What a perfect way to describe “the good ole days”! I have 2 boys and we try to raise them the way this song is written (though it’s hard due to the internet and such). It truly was a better time in life. So much more pure. The days we’re living in now are poisonous to the children. I’m thankful we live in the south and a lot of this song is still relevant nowadays. Kudos to Bucky for this song. It’s one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard.
This young man sang the life I lived many years ago! Unless you lived that life, kids today do not really understand how it was! We played OUTSIDE! No video games! Got my first transistor radio, so excited , hung it on my Bicycle Handle bars! It was a diffwerent world!
When I was about 12 in 1962, I got a transistor radio for my birthday, It was a Motorola, I used to ride my bike and have the radio in my shirt pocket, Great times different world
I couldn't agree more with you ALL I CAN say is it fucking sucks with both of my parents gone I struggle every fucking day living without them I'm so ready to go
Worst part for me I was kind of on the transition between the world he sings about and coming into this new, and frankly over globalised and oversaturated with crap we don't need, world.
@@douglasmaxell3764 Same here, lost my Dad in 2012 and just lost my Mom this June. I do remember those days and I'm 64 and ready to go. But not until I take some of these socialist/fascist/nazi millennials with me when the Revolution starts.
This is my favorite song. It takes me back to better days. This world is absolutely insane now. Times back then were just much simpler. The biggest reason is we live In a godless society and social media. It's a damn shame. I'm only 38 and was raised like this. I feel terrible for my children everyday.
I love this song, and Bucky does it excellent, everything about him matches the song perfectly... Boy it sure was a different world, I was born in 63 and I saw and remember the different(much better) world, at least I was blessed enough to live it...
We rode bikes, With no helmets, Climb to top of Trees, With out any parachute, Play ball,, Play tag, King of the Hill, We would Play in the Creek, Jump off of porch pretending to Fly like Superman
Hello Tonya 👋 Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..
This brings tears to my eyes just thinking of those great ol days!!I so blessed to have grown up then in a semi rural area where a kid could still be a kid... Best days of my life!
Rhonda Boncutter: I recall that most parents made their children go outside right after breakfast. They thought it was awful for kids to just hang around the house. I remember lots of us would get out (or stay out) in the rain, but we knew how to dress for the weather.
My name is Nick and I’m 14 but I’m in high school and we haven’t said the pledge of allegiance for years and I was raised the right way I feel like this world has gone downhill so much recently it’s truly disappointing.
I am an old guy, born in the early 50's, I can tell you it is so different it is now a different Country and nation, a different people. It is almost an Alien planet it is so different. I feel like a Stranger in a Strange land.
Hello Kathy 👋 Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..
I was born in the early 2000's and I wish we could go back to those times when you had to get up and walk to the TV to change the channel. How I wish those times were still around.
I keep coming back to listen to this. Growing up in the late 60s, early 70s, THIS was my life. I'd ride my bike all around, never coming in until I was hungry or the streetlight came on. All of us kids did this. Thirsty? Grab the hose. No bottle or "special" hose needed. Man...I so wish to go back to simpler times. Way less stress.
@@studdmuffen8 Yeah, point out something that did happen in some circumstances, and brand it as the high flying flag of that generation. Great job! I grew up in a firmly non-smoking environment where second hand smoke was absolutely hated for the pollution that it is. And in the year 1990 when I was 5 years old, I already very well knew that lead based paint was toxic, because that was a fact that was just as well known then as it is now. I don't think I know ANYONE who wasn't well aware of the toxic lead paint from the old days. If you didn't go out of your way to eat old paint chips, you were fine. It was very simple and no more complicated than that.
Never thought I’d actually be grief stricken over the way things used to be back in my generation, but compared to life nowadays, I definitely am...✌🏻💔🕊
I'm 2 year's older than Bucky but his music, his looks and everything he does makes me want to go back in time. Your friends wanted you they walked up to your porch and yelled out your name. Sometimes you got a call on the old landline. That hose water was the best. I listen to this song every night and I still think Bucky should have won Idol that season. ❤
Such an amazing song long time days was so much better our kids are so different now spoiled and knows everything but they really don,t thank you bucky for this amazing song.
I saw your contribution to the discussion section, so I checked you out because I got curious about your intelligent comment. It turns out you are as beautiful as you are intelligent too. I know this might appear a cliché, I want to get to know you better. That's if you don't mind.
"And still here we are, we turned out alright...with love of GOD, country, family, friends, with morals, respect, work ethic and we take personal responsibility when we mess up and accept our disappointments and move on without involving everyone we know. I'm glad to be a baby boomer and that GOD let me grow up in that different world surrounded by adults and friends who loved me and not in today's hot mess world.
I’m almost 70 and we said the pledge of allegiance and prayed in school everyday and I know I’ve been blessed. 🙏💖
Yes sir, we were the lucky ones.
I was in school in the 90s and we done the same. Seems everything changed late 2000s
I'm 37 and did that everyday as a kid the internet ruined humanity
I remember those days
God Bless America 🇺🇸 😊
I'm less than half your age and we did it every day. They played The Star Spangled Banner and you could sing along if you knew the words but right after that you were expected to say the pledge and there were consequences if you didn't.
We remember, the country isn't doomed yet.
The older I get, the more this song means to me
Same here.
Glad I'm not the only one that feels that way each year it hits harder
so true and so sad how things have changed since i was a kid back in the 80s and 90s i truly do miss those days sometimes.

Dear God dude...you are sooo right! It don't get any better than this..hell yeah 🇺🇸
It brings a year to my eyes too
I'd take those days back in a heartbeat!
Me too
Bucky Covington is the sexiest man alive. Omg.
Hello Stephanie 👋 Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..
This Song brings back SO MANY GREAT MEMORIES!! Never ever gets Old! So Thankful I was lucky enough to grow up in the 80's. Those were the day's.🤗😉
Agreed, 80s the best decade.
I was born in 1984 and raised in the 90s I really miss those days
I was born in the 50's and grew up with the best of music!
I was born in 1980. I would go back to my childhood in a heartbeat.
Still hits home everyday I venture out into today's world.....please come back
Unfortunately one thing that stays the same is everything changes.
I miss these days!😪Thank you Bucky!❤
Drinking out of the garden hose when we were playing outside. I remember those days lol
Remember, had to let it run for a few minutes to cool off?!
May contain lead lol we still here lol
Yeah, had to let it run for a minute so it could cool off! I played outside for hours at a time! We played tag, played Volley ball over my bicycle! Loved beinging outside!
I remember then, had to let water run for a minute till it cooled off!
How much time did you stay in the house during the summer?
Thus guy would have ruled in the 90's. He is amazing
You 2021 Boys & Girls need a different world. I'm almost 50 as I type this, crying, with my last of 9, a 4yr old boy on my lap. He doesn't know why I'm crying; but I explained they're "good" tears. He'll never get my belt because I show him love, Jesus, and I'm not afraid to cry when I'm happy, or sad. God bless
This song may be 12 years old; but the story of my childhood will live on forever through the words in this song❤️
It’s actually 16 years old which is crazy how relevant it is to today
Kids today will never understand. We didnt own much but we had it all
We didn't own much but we were RICH in friends and fun and adventures galore.
@@vanlkester5815 Amen!
I heard this song a million times but never actually listened to the lyrics. It came up on my Spotify the other day and now I’m hooked! What a perfect way to describe “the good ole days”! I have 2 boys and we try to raise them the way this song is written (though it’s hard due to the internet and such). It truly was a better time in life. So much more pure. The days we’re living in now are poisonous to the children. I’m thankful we live in the south and a lot of this song is still relevant nowadays. Kudos to Bucky for this song. It’s one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard.
This young man sang the life I lived many years ago! Unless you lived that life, kids today do not really understand how it was! We played OUTSIDE! No video games! Got my first transistor radio, so excited , hung it on my Bicycle Handle bars! It was a diffwerent world!
Oh, how can this young man know what life back then?
When I was about 12 in 1962, I got a transistor radio for my birthday, It was a Motorola, I used to ride my bike and have the radio in my shirt pocket, Great times different world
@@tomcarpenter700 I agree, my transistor hung from my bike's handle bars!
@@rhondaboncutter5812 I think I rode past you one day , And our radios Were playing the same song,,lol.
I'm 70 and thats the way I remember my child hood, only we didn't have running water or inside plumbing
We didn't either. Makes me appreciate simple things now.
Damn I miss those days . I'm so glad I grew up in that genaration.
I couldn't agree more with you ALL I CAN say is it fucking sucks with both of my parents gone I struggle every fucking day living without them I'm so ready to go
Same hear, I just had 0 friends I was to busy.
Worst part for me I was kind of on the transition between the world he sings about and coming into this new, and frankly over globalised and oversaturated with crap we don't need, world.
Todd Henriksen yes it was totally bitchin back then
@@douglasmaxell3764 Same here, lost my Dad in 2012 and just lost my Mom this June. I do remember those days and I'm 64 and ready to go. But not until I take some of these socialist/fascist/nazi millennials with me when the Revolution starts.
This is my favorite song. It takes me back to better days. This world is absolutely insane now. Times back then were just much simpler. The biggest reason is we live In a godless society and social media. It's a damn shame. I'm only 38 and was raised like this. I feel terrible for my children everyday.
I feel the same way I'm 36
@@samsmith7150 I am 70, and I remember those days! We had no cell phones, TV got 3 channels, we drank from the hose! Best days of my life! Miss them!
I wish i was born in like 1950 cuz I would spend more time with my pap and gram. Pap rip I love you and I miss you so much 😢😢😥😥
I love this song, and Bucky does it excellent, everything about him matches the song perfectly...
Boy it sure was a different world, I was born in 63 and I saw and remember the different(much better) world, at least I was blessed enough to live it...
We rode bikes, With no helmets, Climb to top of Trees, With out any parachute, Play ball,, Play tag, King of the Hill, We would Play in the Creek, Jump off of porch pretending to Fly like Superman
You are right on just having fun.
Us too. Guess what, we are still here!
I grew up in the day when we were milking goats and feeding chickens. Miss those days.
Hello Tonya 👋 Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..
This brings tears to my eyes just thinking of those great ol days!!I so blessed to have grown up then in a semi rural area where a kid could still be a kid... Best days of my life!
I'm so thankful that I grew up when America was like this. These poor kids today in 2021 are missing out.
"It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world"
This song aged comically well. ❤
We as kids had so much fun, we didn't stay inside! We played outside! Life was so free! Had fun! Will always love this song!
Rhonda Boncutter: I recall that most parents made their children go outside right after breakfast. They thought it was awful for kids to just hang around the house. I remember lots of us would get out (or stay out) in the rain, but we knew how to dress for the weather.
My name is Nick and I’m 14 but I’m in high school and we haven’t said the pledge of allegiance for years and I was raised the right way I feel like this world has gone downhill so much recently it’s truly disappointing.
Nick, so sorry you didn't grow up back then! It was wonderful!
Back in the day when times seemed a lot more innocent for the kids. I miss those days. Where in the heck did they go?
I am an old guy, born in the early 50's, I can tell you it is so different it is now a different Country and nation, a different people.
It is almost an Alien planet it is so different.
I feel like a Stranger in a Strange land.
Your not the only one...
@@knightstemplar7774 I'll be 71 in September, those days are like gold for me! Great to be alive! God Bless you!
I wished the world was back then again...it was a beautiful time!
Hello Kathy 👋 Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..
I was born in the early 2000's and I wish we could go back to those times when you had to get up and walk to the TV to change the channel. How I wish those times were still around.
Exactly how It was growing up. We all worked hard on the farm
Yes, in today's world government is into all your business too. People did not want to destroy and hurt others. Golden Rule was taught.
I keep coming back to listen to this. Growing up in the late 60s, early 70s, THIS was my life. I'd ride my bike all around, never coming in until I was hungry or the streetlight came on. All of us kids did this. Thirsty? Grab the hose. No bottle or "special" hose needed.
Man...I so wish to go back to simpler times. Way less stress.
Sometimes your childhood memories is something to never forget but sometimes it's something to hold on too " priceless "
This song ought to be required listening 4 this generation
Why? So kids have an opportunity to condemn your generation for smoking moms who got cribs with led based paint?
@@studdmuffen8 it's obvious you don't get the song.
@@studdmuffen8 Yeah, point out something that did happen in some circumstances, and brand it as the high flying flag of that generation. Great job!
I grew up in a firmly non-smoking environment where second hand smoke was absolutely hated for the pollution that it is. And in the year 1990 when I was 5 years old, I already very well knew that lead based paint was toxic, because that was a fact that was just as well known then as it is now. I don't think I know ANYONE who wasn't well aware of the toxic lead paint from the old days. If you didn't go out of your way to eat old paint chips, you were fine. It was very simple and no more complicated than that.
One of the most fitting songs I’ve heard in decades.
Never thought I’d actually be grief stricken over the way things used to be back in my generation, but compared to life nowadays, I definitely am...✌🏻💔🕊
Hi Josie 👋
Yes today i am
Well said me too
I was born in 99 but I wish things could be just normal everything is to fast these days and so much politics
I'm 2 year's older than Bucky but his music, his looks and everything he does makes me want to go back in time. Your friends wanted you they walked up to your porch and yelled out your name. Sometimes you got a call on the old landline. That hose water was the best. I listen to this song every night and I still think Bucky should have won Idol that season. ❤
A song about the years I was growing up. Remember the times well
this hit so hard made me miss my family so bad RIP POPS MOM BROTHER
Maybe they should have wore those bike helmets after all
Same my friend💔
The accuracy of this song is 100% perfect🥹
Such an amazing song long time days was so much better our kids are so different now spoiled and knows everything but they really don,t thank you bucky for this amazing song.
This was my childhood in the 90s and early 2000. Take me back please! This now is such a different world.
Love this 👏👏👏👏👍
Hello Mary 👋
@@masonm.connor32 😊👋
I saw your contribution to the discussion section, so I checked you out because I got curious about your intelligent comment. It turns out you are as beautiful as you are intelligent too. I know this might appear a cliché, I want to get to know you better. That's if you don't mind.
"And still here we are, we turned out alright...with love of GOD, country, family, friends, with morals, respect, work ethic and we take personal responsibility when we mess up and accept our disappointments and move on without involving everyone we know. I'm glad to be a baby boomer and that GOD let me grow up in that different world surrounded by adults and friends who loved me and not in today's hot mess world.
God needs to be back at school!! I want those different times back. I still drink from a hose and play with sticks..Whoop! Whoop!
Amen! 🙏🏻✝️🙋🏼♀️
Damn Skippy, when an Elder opened their mouth, you closed yours and put your eyes on the floor
Oh, this song is so true about when I grew up! Those were good days!
Anyone else still in love with Bucky? Just me?.. that's fine because I love me some Bucky! His voice is amazing.
