Joshua was an old man
His beard like mountain snow
And when i was a boy we'd have jam sessions
I'd sneak off to old sharptop
With my guitar i would go
When i should have been at school
Learnin' my lesson
And i'd sip a little moonshine
And i'd smoke a corncob pipe
And we'd pick all day until our fingers bled
And right around supper time
I'd run home in the night
Just in time to get a whippin' from my dad
Oh way back when
He was 65 and i was 10
And i will never be as free again
Oh way back when
The summer flew by quickly
And josh and i spent out time
Writing words to songs from memories of his past
He'd tell me bout the way it was
And i'd find the perfect rhyme
And i couldn't believe how we wrote our songs so fast
I never knew an old man
Could be so full of life
The love we had was so hard to explain
And i remember how the tears fell when he spoke of his late wife
And i'd give him my 6-string to ease his pain
Oh way back when
He was 65 and i was 10
And i will never be as free again
Oh way back when
And then in late november
I knocked on his cabin dor
I knocked and knocked but joshua never came
And i still remember
How he layed there on the floor
And i went home cryin' in the rain
Oh way back when
He was 65 and i was 10
And i will never be as free again
Oh way back when
Oh way back when
Oh way back when
