It Sure Was Better Back Then - Steve Forbert[00:00:00]
Working on the Georgia Line the live long day[00:00:27]
Ninety nine degrees and only half past May[00:00:30]
Nailing down the metal with the crosstime blues[00:00:33]
I had creosote all over my shoes[00:00:36]
I hated it you know now I find I miss it[00:00:39]
Every time my little pension check rolls in[00:00:43]
Course I had it bad not as bad as this is[00:00:46]
It sure was better back then[00:00:50]
Yeah It sure was better back then[00:00:52]
Working in the rain beneath surplus tarp[00:00:56]
Foreman in the wagon twanging a sad Jews harp[00:00:59]
Passing out at night still in my mud caked jeans[00:01:03]
I was living off of berries and beans[00:01:06]
I hated it you know now I swear I miss it[00:01:09]
Every time I look down on my pale white skin[00:01:12]
Course I had it bad not as bad as this is[00:01:16]
It sure was better back then[00:01:19]
It sure was better back then[00:01:22]
Well the cable caught my leg and boy[00:01:51]
The damn thing bled[00:01:54]
Foreman sewed the muscle up with tarp patch thread[00:01:55]
Sit me by the camp gonna have the cook clean pans[00:01:59]
And scrub them down with Georgia red sand[00:02:02]
I hated it you know now I really I miss it[00:02:05]
Staring in my TV 'till the broadcast ends[00:02:08]
Course I had it bad not as bad as this is[00:02:12]
It sure was better back then[00:02:15]
It sure was better back then[00:02:18]
It sure was better back then[00:02:21]
Well long time[00:02:24]
It sure was sure was better back then[00:02:25]
Damn thing[00:02:30]
