A hip drag queen and a side-walkin' street wheeler
Comin' down the avenue
They're all your friends, you'll come to love 'em
There's a load of 'em waitin' for you
Lookout Joe, you're comin' home
Old times were good times
Old times were good times
Remember Millie from down in Philly?
She took my brain and forgot my name
The woman you were with was about the same
She took your money and left town
Lookout Joe, you're comin' home
Old times were good times
Old times were good times
Glory hallelujah
Will I lay my burden down?
Singin' on the streets around
Look at that crazy clown (look at him)
Remember Bill from up on the hill?
A Cadillac put a hole in his arm
But old Bill, he's up there still
Havin' a ball, rollin' to the bottom
Lookout Joe, you're comin' home
Old times were good times
Old times were good times
Old times were good times
Comin' down the avenue
They're all your friends, you'll come to love 'em
There's a load of 'em waitin' for you
Lookout Joe, you're comin' home
Old times were good times
Old times were good times
Remember Millie from down in Philly?
She took my brain and forgot my name
The woman you were with was about the same
She took your money and left town
Lookout Joe, you're comin' home
Old times were good times
Old times were good times
Glory hallelujah
Will I lay my burden down?
Singin' on the streets around
Look at that crazy clown (look at him)
Remember Bill from up on the hill?
A Cadillac put a hole in his arm
But old Bill, he's up there still
Havin' a ball, rollin' to the bottom
Lookout Joe, you're comin' home
Old times were good times
Old times were good times
Old times were good times

i read somewhere that its about the soldiers returning from vietnam and finding themselves in a stranger place than they remember. Joe is as in GI Joe, and America has changed, as there's now "hip drag queens" and "side-walkin' street wheelers"
