"Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout the Good Ol' Days)" is a song written by Jamie O'Hara, and recorded by American country music duo The Judds. 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.

"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.
