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
