Lyrics

Time was when a man could live alone
A man could build a home, have a family of his own
The peaceful years would flow, he could watch his children grow
But it was a long time ago

Time was when troubles were few
When there weren't so many people to tell you what to do
It was a long time ago

Time was when a man could have his land
He could farm it with his hands, he was free to make a stand
He could live a life of toil, with his future in the soil
But it was a long time ago

Time was when troubles were few
When there weren't so many people to tell you what to do
It was along time ago

Time was when a man could have his pride
There was justice on his side, and there was no need to hide
The world was far away, there was truth in every day
But it was along time ago

Time was when troubles were few
When there weren't so many people to tell you what to do
It was along time ago

(Repeat third verse)
