From Way Back When

From Way Back When

 

I have a hundred books I’ve never read       

And millions of words left unsaid             

I wish I could write a hit song blue and true        

I wish I could just say out loud I love you          

 

And the Jones’s are moving in

The commies are at it again

I believe in God and sin

Oh play that song from way back when

 

I’m way past my prime ain’t life just a crime

It’s easy to ignore my rhyme

Jimmy finally found his shaker of salt

Don’t point any fingers it’s all my damn fault

 

And the Jones’s are moving in

The commies are at it again

I believe in God and sin

Oh play that song from way back when

 

Oh I’m the man standing up for the cause

Pulling the levers controlling Oz

Happy Jack died and put me in ground control

You can have the world I’ll take a righteous soul

 

And the Jones’s are moving in

The commies are at it again

I believe in God and sin

Oh play that song from way back when

 

The sum of the parts makes the creative arts

The man from the band broke a million hearts

Mrs. Jones the devil has got his eyes on you

Keep me a kiss and promise to be forever true

 

If I could have learned to play the guitar

Heaven’s inside baby you’re a star

I’ll whisper these sacred words when we make love

Until then sweet friend you’re who I’m thinking of

 

And the Jones’s are moving in

The commies are at it again

I believe in God and sin

Oh play that song from way back when
