Back When

Don't you remember

The fizz in a pepper

Peanuts in a bottle

And 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 ho``` 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 and 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 reading Street Slang For Dummies

'Cause the put pop in my country

I want more for my money

The way it was back then

Back when a ho 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 a whole world a'humming

Oh, just keep it coming

The way it was back then

Back when a ho 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
