PROGRESS AINT FOR ME

(Written by Jeff Ridler)

Verse

DOES NEWER REALLY MEAN BETTER?

CUZ, ME, I LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS

DOES NEWER REALLY MEAN BETTER?

AND ISN’T PROGRESS GREAT

BUT ARE PEOPLE ALL THAT MUCH BETTER OFF

NOW THAN THEY EVER USED TO BE

DON’T MEAN TO SAY THAT I WOULD STANDIN IT’S WAY

BUT PROGRESS AINT FOR ME

PROGRESS AINT FOR ME

Verse

GUESS I’M OLD FASHIONED,

MAYBE BACKWARDS

BUT SOME MACHINE JUST TOOK MY BEST FRIENDS JOB

I DON’T LIKE FREEWAYS

AT RUSH HOUR

ALL I NEED’S A CAMPFIRE AND A SING-A-LONG

THE GOOD OLD DAYS AND THE GOOD OLD WAYS

JUST MIGHT HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR ME

DON’T MEAN TO SAY THAT I WOULD STANDIN IT’S WAY

BUT PROGRESS AINT FOR ME

PROGRESS AINT FOR ME

Verse

THINK I’LL RIDE HORSES

UP IN THE MOUNTAINS

RAISE A GARDEN AND THROW STICKS FOR THE DOG

TELL FUNNY STORIES

TO LITTLE CHILDREN

THANK GOD WHERE I LIVE THERE STILL AINT SMOG

YEAH, THE GOOD OLD DAYS AND THE GOOD OLD WAYS

JUST MIGHT HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR ME

DON’T MEAN TO SAY THAT I WOULD STANDIN IT’S WAY

BUT PROGRESS AINT FOR ME

PROGRESS AINT FOR ME

YEAH, THE GOOD OLD DAYS AND THE GOOD OLD WAYS

JUST MIGHT HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR ME

DON’T MEAN TO SAY THAT I WOULD STANDIN IT’S WAY

BUT PROGRESS AINT FOR ME

PROGRESS AINT FOR ME
