Видео: Shawn Mullins - Joshua

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`ve been in school learning my lessons

And he`d sip a little moonshine and I`d smoke a corncob pipe

We`d pick all day until our fingers bled

Right around supper time I`d run home in the night

Just in time to get a whoopin from my dad

My friend Josh would tell me pickin won`t pay the rent

Well I set out to prove him wrong in time

And I don`t guess I can recall all the hours that I spent

Just beatin on that old flat top of mine

Me and my friend Joshua Lord we must have played em all

And I got where I could put the old man to shame

But I don`t guess it ever seemed to bother Josh at all

He still loved to pick em just the same

CHORUS

OH________Way back when

He was 65 I was 10

And I will never be as free______again

OH________Way back when

The summers flew by quickly as Josh and I spent our time

Writing words to songs from memories from his past

He`d tell me about the way it was and I`d find the perfect rhyme

And I couldn`t believe how he wrote our songs so fast

And I never knew an old man 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 the pain

CHORUS

And in late November I knocked on his cabin door

And I knocked and knocked but Joshua never came

I still remember how he laid there on the floor

And I went home a cryin in the rain

CHORUS

OH________Way back when

He was 65 I was 10

And I will never find a friend like him again

Oh___________________________Way back when

Oh___________________________Way back when
