LIKE WE DID BACK THEN
[ country ]

       Took a trip back to my home town down by the old wood school
       Where I had my share of good times an’ broke my share of rules
       With no computers or calculators we had to learn to count ourselves
       An’ back then they didn’t ignore the best books on history’s shelves

             Back then we learned there’s grand design behind the master plan
             And it gave us all a reason to help our fellow man
             An’ Lord I’d give anything to be born again
             To live like we did back then

       We struggled to get by back then on our small family farm
       There was plenty of work to get done before the sun went down
       Livin’ in a slower lane we got far enough along anyway
       And looked forward to the future instead of dreamin’ of yesterday

             Back then we learned there’s grand design behind the master plan
             And it gave us all a reason to help our fellow man
             An’ Lord I’d give anything to be born again
             To live like we did back then

       In a dot-com information age it’s easy to forget how to feel
       Like rats trapped in a steel city cage spinnin’ on a science fiction wheel

             Back then we learned there’s grand design behind the master plan
             Yeah, it gave us all a reason to help our fellow man
             An’ Lord I’d give anything to be born again
             To live like we did back then
             Ummm, mmm, mmm, ummm, like we did back then
