DWell I grew up half way ‘Gtween Mississippi and TAexas DSummer sure was hot down Gol' Cypress Bottom RAoad Riff DI remember Momma waking usG up and cooking us Abreakfast DAnd Daddy pattin' us on the back as he Gwalked us to them old cAorn rows AAnd we kicked up Gdust...
[Chorus]
ABack when it was the way it was D G A ABack when it was the way it was D G A Riff
[Verse]
DNow we didn't have a whole Glot but wasn't hurtin' for Anothin' DSome good ground that Daddy found and the good GLord up Aabove DA creek bottom full of firGewood that was well worth Acuttin' DAnd some ol' dogs that would loGad up my '72 pick-up Atruck AAnd run a rabbit, hog or white tailG buck
[Chorus]
ABack when it was the way it was D G A ABack when it was the way it was D G A ABack when was the way-hay... D G A ABack when was the way it was D G A Riff
[Verse]
DNow there's a barefoot ball game boGund to be broke out some Awhere DAnd I got a hundred on the ‘tGween front porch and the mail Abox DUnless of course when it was raGin we were staring down Ayonder DAt that ol' weeping willow across the Groad down there by Uncle AHobbs AAh soakin' up every single Gdrop
[Chorus]
