Flypaper Fowler & the Sticky Wickets - Back in the Day

Back in the day, you hear the old men say
Back in the day, son you should have seen us play
Back in the day, everything was better by the way

My dear old dad, he walked to school every day
Six miles uphill, a foot of snow in the way
No time to play; life was pretty tough back in the day

Back in the day, you hear the old men say
Back in the day, son you should have seen us play
Back in the day, everything was better by the way

We all know a guy, comes across as a fool
Stays home gets high, brags about his exploits at school
We all heard him say
'Man, I was the man back in the day'

Let me tell you sonny
if you think I'm being funny
I got money says I'm tellin' the truth
A nickel's now a dollar
and it makes you want to holler and start looking for the Fountain of Youth

Back in the day, you hear the old men say
Back in the day, son you should have seen us play
Back in the day, everything was better by the way

I tell my son, don't dwell on the past
Keep pushing forward, do your best to make life a blast
Cause you don't want to say
That's right, I hear you back in the day

Back in the day, you hear the old men say
Back in the day, son you should have seen us play
Back in the day, everything was better by the way
