Back When I Was 4 |
| 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 |
| Do not 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 ho |
| 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 am 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 'em all |
| Country, soul and rock-n-roll |
| What happened to those times |
| I am reading 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 ho was a ho |
| 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 am 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 strummin' |
| I want the whole world to be hummin' |
| Oh, just keep it comin' |
| The way it was back then |
| Back when a ho was a ho |
| 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 am 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 |
