  • Take Me Back To The Good Old Days:
    An original song by Denny Carlson
    performed by Denny Carlson and Josie Meyer
    *NOTE this song is a satirical response to a comment made by a conservative friend complaining about "liberals changing everything in America". We often talk about going back to the good old days, but what does that really mean for women, LGBT+, and racial minorities?
    Chorus:
    Take me back to the good old days,
    I long for the good old ways,
    I do have a mind to go back in time,
    Take me back to the good old days.
    1
    It was our finest hour,
    When the white man had the power,
    The white man ran the show, He was always in control
    Take me back to the good old days.
    Chorus
    2
    When the black man knew his place,
    He was never in your face,
    He never made a fuss, And sat in the back of the bus,
    Take me back to the good old days.
    Chorus
    3
    When the women got the vote,
    You know that's all she wrote,
    'Cause then they started bitchin', We couldn't keep them in the kitchen,
    Take me back to the good old days.
    Chorus
    4
    When the gays were much more quiet,
    They didn't have too much to say,
    They hid in the closet, Tried to pray the gay away,
    Take me back to the good old days.
    Chorus

    Isn’t it marvels how you can play an instrument and not even look at the strings . You can even be blind and still play a tune perfect. Keep up the good playing.

    Excellent song and a narrative that I do find intriguing. I say this as a man born during the great depression. Better run of the mill folks back then. Genuine.

    I don't come from quite that far back, I became of age the year the Vietnam came to an end, but for me there are as many good things about my younger years on the planet as there are today. Great job by both, great song and even though you meant it as a jab at we conservatives I got a good chuckle out of it just the same. I suspect there are as many people that agree with me as there are with you....but that's what makes the world go 'round.

      How is this song a jab at conservatives? Don’t get me wrong I can’t believe how hilarious this song is. It’s so holy-inappropriate that it’s hilarious. But I get the feeling he is vibing with these lyrics a little too well! 😂 As though they represent his current way of thinking. ? LoL
      What part of our Conservative party vibes with blacks in the back of the bus, women better off in the kitchen than voting and gays that should stay in the closet? 😂 Did you hear the lyrics at all?

    You asked it as a rhetorical question, but there actually are conservatives who wouldn’t mind a rewind to the 1850’s.

      Wow! It is mind numbingly shocking that any living person would prefer to return to a time where slavery was legal, a movement to help women’s suffrage had yet to begin, they could not vote and were generally oppressed and gays were as good as dead. We live in crazy challenging times where sin and corruption seems to be at its worst, ever. At the same time we live in a time where the ability for positive Christian messaging is more available to the entire world, resources to help the suffering are growing and more and more help are reaching the distant, and ALL Gods people (ALL colors, backgrounds etc…) are experiencing more freedom, less suffering and more equality more closely resembling what God intended. In all of modern day life that is truly terrible today, we have come a long way from SLAVERY, women’s suffrage and the open killing of people based on their way of life. Surely no living human is so out of touch.

    I don't recall slavery being the good ol days. I remember the good ol days of front porch sitting, with family and friends. When all was equal for all. Somewhere around the 80s or so. He saying when the black sit at the back of the bus. LMAO. Listen to the song people. Not that good of a song.
