It was released in January 1986 as the second single from the album Rockin' with the Rhythm . The song became The Judds' sixth No. 1 song on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart . Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time . </P> <P> "Grandpa"--(tell me' bout the good old days - as the song is sometimes known)--is a song about the decline and abandonment of traditional values, the hectic lifestyle of the day and how progressivism isn't positive ("They call it progress / But I just don't know"). The main refrain of the song reflects on the narrator as they expresses mournful doubt and discontent that past occurrences of traditional values really happened (did _____ really??), instead of what the singer has experienced during his / her lifetime; and the narrator wishes he / she could experience those past times now instead of experiencing the traditional values having been abandoned for their negative opposites, such as marriages staying intact for a lifetime, instead of broken marriage vows and broken marriage covenants and rampant infidelity--fathers maintaining their responsibilities to help raise children, instead of fatherless dysfunctional families with disobedient and disrespectful children that comes from it--families going to church and having Humility, instead of worshiping the bling of the world--promises being kept, instead of a lack of Personal Integrity--and how right and wrong were clearly defined and obeyed, instead of being ignored in order to make other people feel better about themselves . </P>
