[Verse]
A# D# F
Well I grew up half way ‘tween Mississippi and Texas
A# D# F
Summer sure was hot down ol' Cypress Bottom Road
Riff
A# D# F
I remember Momma waking us up and cooking us breakfast
A#
And Daddy pattin' us on the back as he
D# F
walked us to them old corn rows
F D#
And we kicked up dust...
[Chorus]
F A# D# F
Back when it was the way it was
F A# D# F
Back when it was the way it was
Riff
[Verse]
A# D# F
Now we didn't have a whole lot but wasn't hurtin' for nothin'
A# D# F
Some good ground that Daddy found and the good Lord up above
A# D# F
F creek bottom full of firewood that was well worth cuttin'
A# D# F
And some ol' dogs that would load up my '72 pick-up truck
F D#
And run a rabbit, hog or white tail buck
[Chorus]
F A# D# F
Back when it was the way it was
F A# D# F
Back when it was the way it was
F A# D# F
Back when was the way-hay...
F A# D# F
Back when was the way it was
Riff
[Verse]
A# D# F
Now there's a barefoot ball game bound to be broke out some where
A# D# F
And I got a hundred on the ‘tween front porch and the mail box
A# D# F
Unless of course when it was rain we were staring down yonder
A# D# F
At that ol' weeping willow across the road down there by Uncle Hobbs
F D#
Ah soakin' up every single drop
[Chorus]
F A# D# F
Back when it was the way it was
F A# D# F
Back when it was the way it was
F A# D# F
Back when was the way-hay...
F A# D# F
Back when was the way it was
Riff
