Lyrics
BACK IN THE DAY
Words and Music by James Keith Norman
VERSE #1:
When I was a boy, down by the creek,
in the mud with the frogs and worms,
my momma didn’t
worry every minute
I might be catchin’ germs
That’s how I played.
VERSE #2:
And when I was a teen, datin’ someone,
the first night we went out,
I’d knock on her door
meet her daddy before
and I only took her from that house
if I made the grade.
CHORUS:
Lookin’ back at My Back in the Day –
back when life seemed sweeter in all ways –
sometimes I wish I
could get back to my
Back in the Day.
VERSE #3:
When I was young, learnin’ ’bout the Lord
my daddy he told me, “Son,
Before you sleep
ask Good to keep the
Devil on the run.”
And we all prayed.
CHORUS:
Lookin’ back at My Back in the Day –
back when life seemed sweeter in all ways –
sometimes I wish I
could get back to my
Back in the Day.
BRIDGE:
Now, I’m not saying everything has changed
everywhere
but there are some places I feel strange.
I don’t care
’cause how I was raised,
for me, I can’t see no better way.
CHORUS:
Lookin’ back at My Back in the Day –
back when life seemed sweeter in all ways –
sometimes I wish I
could get back to my
Back in the Day.
