《It Sure Was Better Back Then》歌词

[00:00:00] It Sure Was Better Back Then - Steve Forbert

[00:00:27] Working on the Georgia Line the live long day

[00:00:30] Ninety nine degrees and only half past May

[00:00:33] Nailing down the metal with the crosstime blues

[00:00:36] I had creosote all over my shoes

[00:00:39] I hated it you know now I find I miss it

[00:00:43] Every time my little pension check rolls in

[00:00:46] Course I had it bad not as bad as this is

[00:00:50] It sure was better back then

[00:00:52] Yeah It sure was better back then

[00:00:56] Working in the rain beneath surplus tarp

[00:00:59] Foreman in the wagon twanging a sad Jews harp

[00:01:03] Passing out at night still in my mud caked jeans

[00:01:06] I was living off of berries and beans

[00:01:09] I hated it you know now I swear I miss it

[00:01:12] Every time I look down on my pale white skin

[00:01:16] Course I had it bad not as bad as this is

[00:01:19] It sure was better back then

[00:01:22] It sure was better back then

[00:01:51] Well the cable caught my leg and boy

[00:01:54] The damn thing bled

[00:01:55] Foreman sewed the muscle up with tarp patch thread

[00:01:59] Sit me by the camp gonna have the cook clean pans

[00:02:02] And scrub them down with Georgia red sand

[00:02:05] I hated it you know now I really I miss it

[00:02:08] Staring in my TV 'till the broadcast ends

[00:02:12] Course I had it bad not as bad as this is

[00:02:15] It sure was better back then

[00:02:18] It sure was better back then

[00:02:21] It sure was better back then

[00:02:24] Well long time

[00:02:25] It sure was sure was better back then

[00:02:30] Damn thing
