Wishing it was still a thing even I could do Wishing all these old things were new. Watching while some young men go to jail And they show it all on TV just to see somebody fail. And I guess there’s not a single thing A man like me can do Wishing all these old things were new. Wishing all these old things were new Good times like the roaring ’20s and the roaring ’80s too. Thinking about the good old days before it all fell through Wishing all these old things were new. INSTRUMENTAL The kids don’t want my cigarettes around They say its time that dad should lay tobacco down. But if I could start all over Guess I’d still do what I do Wishing all these old things were new. Wishing all these old things were new Good times like the roaring ’20s and the roaring ’80s too. Thinking about the good old days before it all fell through Wishing all these old things were new. Wishing all these old things were new.

La chanson évoque le sentiment de nostalgie pour des temps passés, où les plaisirs simples de la vie semblaient plus accessibles et plus pur. L'artiste observe des amis qui s'adonnent à des comportements autodestructeurs et se remémore les jours où ces activités ne lui causaient pas du tort. Il exprime un désir de revenir à ces anciennes joies, tout en reconnaissant les conséquences de ses choix, comme les tensions avec ses enfants qui lui conseillent d'abandonner ses habitudes. Ce contexte de regret et de réflexion sur les conséquences de la vie moderne souligne la lutte intérieure de l'artiste entre ses désirs passés et les réalités présentes. Ce sentiment de perte est universel et trouve écho chez de nombreux auditeurs qui, comme lui, contemplent le passage du temps et les choix qu'ils ont faits.
