Forty Years Ago Jamey Johnson

[Verse 1]
Gasoline, was just a dime a gallon
An' they'd bring milk right up to your door
At least that's the way, my Papa said it was
About forty years ago

[Verse 2]
An old box car, was the way to travel
He said, you could see the world, in a week or so
And who had the biggest house, or the fastest car, or the best clothes didn't matter
Just forty years ago

[Bridge]
But the winds of change have blown that time away
You won't find that spirit around these parts today
And if he were here right now, he'd say son, you're livin' too fast
You gotta slow down and pray, aw stop an' pray

[Verse 3]
An' restaurants, were all closed on Sunday
And made in the USA, was the best for sure
At least that's the way, my Papa said it was
About forty years ago

Forty years ago
Forty years ago
