I Miss Back When

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.
