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

!@&@e was a !@%!e
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

!@&@e was a !@%!e
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
!@&@e was a !@%!e

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
