Luyện nghe bài hát Things

Things just the way they used to be
Things I I remembered well look different now to me
For adult eyes can sure surprise a memory
No, things just ain't the way used to be

The windows at the school don't seem as
As I remember neither do the fountains in the
And that grade teacher wasn't terrible at all
No, things just ain't the way they to be

The playground doesn't seem as big
And I could put a ball right the office window now
And I know now why gum in school was not allowed
No, things just the way they used to be

Butch used to keep us kids afraid
bust the lip of any kid who dared get in his way
I wish ole' Butch was here in front of me today
'Cause, things just the way they used to be

I wish I could have grown the man
That I pictured as a child and filled those plans
I'd do it right if only I could my life again
But just ain't the way they used to be

Forbidden alleys streets,
Places mama told me I never set my feet
Well today I exactly where those streets and alleys lead
'Cause just ain't the way they used to be

Buck is no longer unemployed,
Uncle Dick has settled down age and rarely gets annoyed
And now I Butch Carter's gone to workin' for the Lord
No, things just the way they used to be
No, just ain't the way they used to be
