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
