The JJ Ford Band - Back In The Day (27 Years)

Back in the day, before it all went wrong
Life was good and summer days were long
I stood in the line, couldn't wait to sing my song
That's how it always was back in the day
Strolled along the riverbank, our hearts were beating fast
The troubles of the World were rooted in the past
There was no early warning that the good times never last
That's how it always was back in the day
Give me twenty seven years and I swear I'll put things right
Twenty seven years turn your darkness into light
I know the pain you suffered was too high a price to pay
But my shoulders, they're much broader now
Than they were back in the day
Like Shakespeare's twisted lady, I know what's done is done
There's a time to face the music and a time to cut and run
I stood upon a foreign shore and watched the setting sun
When I could not face the truth. That was back in the day
Give me twenty seven years and I swear I'll put things right
Twenty seven years turn your darkness into light
I know the pain you suffered was too high a price to pay
But my shoulders, they're much broader now
Than they were back in the day
Now I plough a different furrow in a new and greener land
How I landed in this corner we may never understand
I've found a place to lay my head and I'll make one final stand
That's how it always was back in the day
Give me twenty seven years and I swear I'll put things right
Twenty seven years turn your darkness into light
I know the pain you suffered was too high a price to pay
But my shoulders, they're much broader now
Than they were back in the day
