Time Was |
| Time was when a man could live alone |
| A man could build a home, have a family of his own |
| The peaceful years would flow, he could watch his children grow |
| But it was a long time ago |
| Time was when troubles were few |
| When there weren’t so many people to tell you what to do |
| It was a long time ago |
| Time was when a man could have his land |
| He could farm it with his hands, he was free to make a stand |
| He could live a life of toil, with his future in the soil |
| But it was a long time ago |
| Time was when troubles were few |
| When there weren’t so many people to tell you what to do |
| It was along time ago |
| Time was when a man could have his pride |
| There was justice on his side, and there was no need to hide |
| The world was far away, there was truth in every day |
| But it was along time ago |
| Time was when troubles were few |
| When there weren’t so many people to tell you what to do |
| It was along time ago |
| Time was when a man could have his pride |
| There was justice on his side, and there was no need to hide |
| The world was far away, there was truth in every day |
| But it was along time ago |
