Back When (Single Version)

Don't you remember

The fizz in a pepper

Peanuts in a bottle

At ten, two and four

A fried bologna sandwich

With mayo and tomato

Sittin' round the table

Don't happen much anymore

We got too complicated

It's all way over-rated

I like the old and out-dated

Way of life

Back when a hoe was a hoe

Coke was a coke

And crack's what you were doing

When you were cracking jokes

Back when a screw was a screw

The wind was all that blew

And when you said I'm down with that

Well it meant you had the flu

I miss back when

I miss back when

I miss back when

I love my records

Black, shiny vinyl

Clicks and pops

And white noise

Man they sounded fine

I had my favorite stations

The ones that played them all

Country, soul and rock-and-roll

What happened to those times?

I'm readin' Street Slang For Dummies

Cause they put pop in my country

I want more for my money

The way it was back then

Back when a hoe was a hoe

Coke was a coke

And crack's what you were doing

When you were cracking jokes

Back when a screw was a screw

The wind was all that blew

And when you said I'm down with that

Well it meant you had the flu

I miss back when

I miss back when

I miss back when

Give me a flat top for strumming

I want the whole world to be humming

Just keep it coming

The way it was back then

Back when a hoe was a hoe

Coke was a coke

And crack's what you were doing

When you were cracking jokes

Back when a screw was a screw

The wind was all that blew

And when you said I'm down with that

Well it meant you had the flu

I miss back when

I miss back when

I miss back when

I miss back when

I miss back when
