Lyrics:
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
