Testo It Sure Was Better Back Then - Steve Forbert
Testo della canzone It Sure Was Better Back Then (Steve Forbert), tratta dall'album Mission Of The Crossroad Palms
Workin' on the Georgia line the live-long day
Ninety-nine degrees and only half past pay
Nailin' down the metal with the crosstie blues
I had creosote all over my shoes
I hated it, you know, now I find I miss it
Every time my little pension check rolls in
Of course I had it bad, but not as bad as this is
It sure was better back then
It sure was better back then
Workin' in the rain beneath the surplus tarp
Foreman in the wagon 'twang the statue's harp
Pass out at night still in my mud-caked jeans
Livin' off of berries and beans
I hated it you know, now I swear I miss it
Every time I look down at my pale white skin
Of course I had it bad, but not as bad as this is
It sure was better back then
It sure was better back then
On account cut my leg and would the damned thing blend
Foreman sewed my muscle up with tarp patch thread
Soon as I'd account go out for good clean pants
Scrubbin' down the Georgia red sand
I hated it you know, now I really miss it
Starin' at the TV 'til the broadcast ends
Of course I had it bad, but not as bad as this is
It sure was better back then
It sure was better back then
It sure was better back then
One long time it sure was
It was fine
It was fine
