Back When I Was 4 Lyrics
Don't you remember
The fizz in a pepper
Peanuts in a bottle
At ten, two and fourA fried bologna sandwich
With mayo and tomato
Sittin' round the table
Don't happen much anymoreWe got too complicated
It's all way over-rated
I like the old and out-dated
Way of lifeBack when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokesBack 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 fluI miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back whenI love my records
Black, shiny vinyl
Clicks and pops
And white noise
Man they sounded fineI 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 thenBack when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokesBack 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 fluI miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back whenGive me a flat top for strumming
I want the whole world to be humming
Just keep it coming
The way it was back thenBack when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokesBack 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 fluI miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when
