《It Sure Was Better Back Then(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] It Sure Was Better Back Then (Album Version) - Steve Forbert

[00:00:28] Working on the Georgia Line the live long day

[00:00:31] Ninety nine degrees and only half past May

[00:00:35] Nailing down the metal with the crosstime blues

[00:00:38] I had creosote all over my shoes

[00:00:41] I hated it you know now I find I miss it

[00:00:45] Every time my little pension check rolls in

[00:00:48] Course I had it bad not as bad as this is

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

[00:00:55] Yeah It sure was better back then

[00:00:59] Working in the rain beneath surplus tarp

[00:01:02] Foreman in the wagon twanging a sad Jews harp

[00:01:06] Passing out at night still in my mud caked jeans

[00:01:09] I was living off of berries and beans

[00:01:12] I hated it you know now I swear I miss it

[00:01:16] Every time I look down on my pale white skin

[00:01:19] Course I had it bad not as bad as this is

[00:01:23] It sure was better back then

[00:01:26] It sure was better back then

[00:01:57] Well the cable caught my leg and boy

[00:01:59] The damn thing bled

[00:02:01] Foreman sewed the muscle up with tarp patch thread

[00:02:04] Sit me by the camp gonna have the cook clean pans

[00:02:07] And scrub them down with Georgia red sand

[00:02:11] I hated it you know now I really I miss it

[00:02:14] Staring in my TV till the broadcast ends

[00:02:18] Course I had it bad not as bad as this is

[00:02:22] It sure was better back then

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

[00:02:28] It sure was better back then

[00:02:35] It sure was better back then
