lyrics
Well I work all day 'til I grow tired, cause I don't mind
Life don't seem much like life, unless you grind it
Way on back way way on back, livin' off the land yeah
Both bare hands and an aching back, was all they had then
(chorus)
Oh, my my, oh my my, I wish we could rewind it
To that simple way of life, how grandma described it
Good hard work fuels the mind, it makes you feel worth something
You get what you give, and if you're taking child, take only what you need
All you've got is your good name, you make the bed you lay in
If you ain't got something nice to say, then don't say nothing
(chorus)
Oh my my, oh my my, I wish we could realize that
We are livin' in paradise, how nature designed it
Oh my my, oh my my, I wish we could rewind it
To that simple way of life, how grandma described it
Well there's beauty in all honest things, the magic's in the making
If you want a better life, then change your way of livin'
(chorus)
Oh my my, oh my my, I wish we could rewind it
To that simple way of life, how grandpa described it
Oh my my, oh my my, I wish we could realize that
We are livin' in paradise, how nature designed it
Georgia-based BJ Wilbanks's authentic exploration of love and the pursuit of enlightenment has been referred to as “Back Porch Soul”,; fusing the musical roots of Americana, Motown and Delta Blues into an intoxicating blend of Southern Rock.
Soulful guitar interplay form the heart of this lovely Americana collaboration from Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2018
This massive compilation from Marvin Tate's Chicago ensemble is funny, wildly eclectic, and bursting with energy. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 3, 2022
