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 laid 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
