A song about looking back at life. The singer is thinking about his childhood in the 1950s and how great it was. He's reminiscing about his childhood joys (Rin Tin Tin, I Love Lucy). Comparing that with the 1960s and the Vietnam war, and the 1980s (present day) and how much more complex things are being a father and provider.
