Old School Memories

I guess we all have old memories Way back when we were in school We tried our best to get passing grades To prove to our folks we weren’t a fool Remember those old-fashion desks? There was an ink well right at the top Some boys didn’t last too long at school For they stayed home to pick the crops Long walks home right after school The stack of books made a heavy load Kicking rocks but hurrying along Down that dusty red dirt road After all, there were always chores to do Once a kid got back home Gather the eggs and slop the hogs Didn’t have a lot of time to roam Yep, those were good old days, my friend Nowadays seems school is a breeze But it sure is fun to look behind us To the wonderful old school memories!
