Back In The Day Songtext / Lyric

Listen now
Back in the day they used to say
Play that song, get it going and the band played
And still today you hear us say
Play that song all night long Mr. DJ
Though times have changed it's still the same
We all need a minute to get away, so let it go
And feel the flow if you got soul let the world know

We're gonna set the mood, gonna go back
To an old-school groove, gonna rewind to another time
When the originators, innovators were alive

So break out the Marvin Gaye, your Etta James
Your Lady Day and Coltrane, turn up your 45's
Bring back to life the sound and the vibe of yesterday
Open your mind, enjoy the ride
Get out tonight and grab that soul train

Back in the day, back in the day
Back in the day, back in the day
Back in the day, back in the day
Back in the day, back in the day

Now chain of fools and respect
Was the anthem of a woman Aretha said
What's going on, let's get it on
Such classic songs, don't forget them
Though times have changed they still remain
My inspiration every day, so give it up
For the ones who came before, opened up that door

We're gonna set the mood, gonna go back
To an old-school groove, gonna rewind to another time
When the originators, innovators were alive

So break out the Marvin Gaye, your Etta James
Your Lady Day and Coltrane, turn up your 45's
Bring back to life the sound and the vibe of yesterday
Open your mind, enjoy the ride
Get out tonight and grab that soul train

Back in the day, back in the day
Back in the day, back in the day
Back in the day, back in the day
Back in the day, back in the day

So get up, relive it
Gotta let yourself go, give up your praise
Come celebrate, just get up, get on it
Get yourself on the floor, don't back away
Come celebrate, we're gonna celebrate yeah

So break out the Marvin Gaye, your Etta James
Your Lady Day and Coltrane, turn up your 45's
Bring back to life the sound and the vibe of yesterday
Open your mind, enjoy the ride
Get out tonight and grab that soul train

Back in the day, back in the day
Back in the day, back in the day
Back in the day, back in the day
Back in the day, back in the day
