Time Was [Demo-Version]
[Intro]
The last song was in E
I'll keep it up, too, in this next song, it's in E regular
Song called "Time Was"

[Verse 1]
Time was when a man could live alone
Man was free to roam over land that wasn't known
Peaceful years would flow, he could watch his children grow
But it was a long time ago

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Time was when troubles were few
When there weren't so many people to tell you what to do

[Verse 3]
Timе was when a man could have his pride
Whеn time was on his side and there was no need to hide
The world was far away, there was truth in every day
But it was a long time ago
[Chorus]
Time was when troubles were few
When there weren't so many people to tell you what to do

[Verse 3]
Time was when a man could have his pride
When time was on his side and there was no need to hide
The world was far away, there was truth in every day
But it was a long time ago

[Outro]
It was a long time ago
