I Miss Back When

Performed By: Tim McGraw
2004 Album: Live Like You were Dying
Written By: Stephony Smith, Jeff Stevens & Stan Lynch





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' around the table, 
Don't happen much anymore.
(2003)


We've gotten 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.
(1992)

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,


(1976 -  1978)


I miss back when.
(1975)


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.
(1991)




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,
(1998 - 2000)









I miss back when. 


(2003)


Give me a flat top for strumming, 
I want the whole world a 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.
(2002)


I miss back when,
(1986)



I miss back when, 
I miss back when,


(1995 - 1996)


I miss back when,


(1987 - 1995)


I miss back when.
(1987 - 1997)



I heard this song over the weekend and decided that I would try to use it for my post this week. I enjoyed looking through some old photos and putting it together. I hope you enjoy it too! Linked to Hootin' Anni's Thursday Theme Song

  1. I sure miss Back When, too.
    I remember a young lady asking me if I was raised in the 50s, and I said yes, and she wanted to know if it really was the way they saw it on TV. And you know, it was pretty close. It wasn't really Leave it to Beaver, or Father Knows Best, all the time, but those shows were closer to reality than we realized back then.
    I miss Back When, and it won't come again.

  2. I definitely enjoyed the music and looking at all your photos. You brought back lots of memories from the 'good old days'. Things were simpler back then and, even though I love all the new technology, there are still a few things I miss from those times.

  4. Girl.....you really hit the nail on the head with this song to be sure. Great song....super excellent images to match the lyrics. A most perfect rendition. But, I have come to expect grandeur with your themes each week. PS....don'tcha just LOVE the fashions of the 70s? [Not!!!]

    Awwwwwww, the simple life. You really put some nostalgic emotions rushing through my veins today.
