Back When Songtext
von Tim McGraw

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
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 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
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
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
