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
