I grew up in a small town in Northern Michigan and these lyrics hit close to home reminding me of them good old days. I grew up going fishing all of the time and I miss those days. At least the lakes are still there and there are no strip malls there but if there were it would be even more depressing. I cherish those days in my heart and as Reverend Peyton says them old days are gone so you can’t dwell on them too long. This song makes me feel better because I know others feel the same way I do.
In addition, the part about homemade Halloween costumes is exactly speaking to me when I was growing up. My mother was a sewer and made a lot of my costumes. At the time I was embarrassed but now I am so proud of my mother. She is truly an amazing woman who had 10 kids and had to make things.
