Collaborator needed for new Country listing

[mikemichnya]

Hey all,

I posted this old song of mine - https://soundcloud.com/mamichnya-1/good-ol-days-wip - for feedback in peer-to-peer. It might work for the new listing below (with some rewriting).

I'm looking to collaborate with anyone who thinks they can help push it over the top, especially a better vocalist and someone with production skills. Of course, any and all feedback is always welcome.

Thanks in advance.

GOOD OL’ DAYS
words and music by Michael A. Michnya

My kids were down in the basement, messin' around
Playin' hide 'n' seek - guess what they found?
My old yearbook, from way back in junior high
We sat down and flipped through the pages
My daughter said, "Daddy, are you okay?"
I said,"Mm, honey, got a speck of dust in my eye."

I said, “Those were my Good Ol’ Days
Runnin’ wild with my best friends
Seemed like they’d never end
Those Good Ol’ Days
I love those Good Ol’ Days
Sometimes I look back on them
I'll never see the like again
Of those Good Ol’ Days

Page thirty-two that’s my first girl friend,
Teenage heartbreak I'd do it again
Our last date was when I first met your mom.
All the sloppy handwritten notes
Were my old pals making silly jokes
But they were the one’s I always could count on.

Those were my Good Ol’ Days
Runnin’ wild with my best friends
Seemed like they’d never end
Those Good Ol’ Days
I love those Good Ol’ Days
Sometimes I look back on them
I'll never see the like again
Of those Good Ol’ Days

Now I’ve got great kids and a wonderful wife and I love my life
I’d never trade a single today for those good old days

‘Cause these are my Good Ol’ Days
Runnin’ after you wild kids
I wish they’d never end
These Good Ol’ Days
I love these Good Ol’ Days
One day I’ll look back on them
I'll never see the like again
Of these Good Ol’ Days

I love these Good Ol’ Days
These Good Ol’ Days
Make the most of these Good Ol’ Days
These Good Ol’ Days
Good Ol’ Days
