Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
We've gotten too complicated
It's all way overrated
I like the old and outdated way of life
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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?
[PreChorus]
I'm reading Street Slang For Dummies
'Cause they put pop in my country
I want more for my money
The way it was back then
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Give me a flat-top for strummin'
I want a ol' Wurly hummin'
Oh, just keep it comin'
The way it was back then
[Chorus]
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
