When I Was Your Age
Oh yeah, when I was your age ice cream only cost a penny.
You could see a movie, have an eight ounce glass bottle of pop,
a popcorn, a candy bar, and another candy for a nickel.
We didn't have television.
All we had was a radio we listened to for 10 minutes a day
because batteries were expensive.
You worked from sunup to sundown and slept when it got dark.
The only day we had off was on Sunday to go to church and play games.
