Content[edit]
"Grandpa" — as the song is sometimes known — is a reflection on days gone by, wherein the narrator expresses discontent about the decline in traditional values, the hectic lifestyle of the day and how progress hasn't always been positive ("They call it progress/But I just don't know"). The refrain reflects on the values of yesterday, such as marriages staying intact for a lifetime, fathers maintaining their responsibilities to help raise children, families going to church, promises being kept, and how right and wrong were clearly defined.
