Lyrics
[1st Verse]

Don't you remember the fizz in a pepper?

With 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 (x3)

[2nd Verse]

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 (x3)

[Last Verse]

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 (x3)
