I like the old and out-dated way of life

G D
Back when a hoe was a hoe
C
Coke was a coke
G
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
Am
I miss back when

I miss back when

Am G D
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
C D G
I want more for my money, the way it was back then
