It Sure Was Back Then - Steve Forbert
version - Folk Live from Mountain Stage

(guitar Intro)

Working on the Georgia the live long day
Ninety nine degrees and half past May
Nailing the metal with the crosstime blues
I had all over my shoes
I hated it, you know, now I find I it
time my little pension check rolls in
Course I had it bad... not as bad as is
It was better back then
yeah It was better back then

Working in the rain beneath surplus
Foreman in the twanging a sad Jews harp
out at night still in my mud caked jeans
I was living off of and beans
I hated it, you know, now I swear I it
Every I look down on my pale white skin
I had it bad... not as bad as this is
It sure was better then
It sure was better back

(guitar lead)

Well, the cable caught my leg, and, boy, the thing bled
Foreman sewed the muscle up with tarp patch
Sit me by the camp, gonna have the clean pans
And scrub down with Georgia red sand...
I hated it, you know, now I really I it
Staring in my TV till the ends
Course I had it bad... not as bad as is
It sure was better back
It sure was better back
It sure was better back... one time...
It sure was better back

(guitar lead)

(spoken over guitar lead) go on off with 'em (??)
...Some kind of beat (audience clapping)
...that's gonna do, good... (??)

Well, the cable caught my leg, and, boy, the damn thing
Foreman the muscle up with tarp patch thread
Sit me by the camp, gonna have the cook clean
And scrub them down with red sand...
I hated it, you know, now I I miss it
Starin' in the TV till the broadcast
I had it bad... not as bad as this is
It sure was back then
It sure was better then
It sure was better back... one time...
It sure was back then

(guitar out)
