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
 end of chorus):
 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
 I miss back when,  I miss back when
