Lyrics
Back In the Day
Finally hit the breaking point when my grand dad called to say
Hoped to pass down the family farm, but lost it all today
A 3-piece suit, with snake skin boots, silver tongue and slight of hand
Took him for everything he had with a get rich quick plan
You see in my grand dad's world
A man is only as good as his word
I miss back in the day where people treated each other straight
All you needed to make a deal was a simple handshake
Talk was face to face, you kept an eye on your neighbor's place
Everybody carried their own weight, I miss back in the day
Sunday mornin' service we sat in the third pew
Then headed straight to grandma's for a family afternoon
It was chicken, it was cousins, hide and seek until dark
No one worked on Sundays but we sure played real hard
Kids didn't have to worry back then
Always someone watchin' over them
(Repeat Chorus)
