This is another song that appears on the compilation album. No Previous Record. This version was taken from one of the WRIU tapes that Cheryl had.
This song describes when Cheryl was first learning to play guitar. She had a neighbor who taught guitar to her and a few boys. They would spend all night playing just about any song they could think of.

- Where I was raised in a little town
- We used to play guitar till the sun went down
- And it was just one older man, two boys and me
- We use to sing old folk, old bluegrass tunes
- If we could learn'em of the records in the afternoons
- And didn't all those strings make perfect harmony
- And when we used to get together on a Saturday night
- All the kids around the town would come to play
- I don't believe we ever got the chordin' just right
- And you know it didn't matter anyway
- We'd sing about the government and love and war
- And a million things we didn't understand
- It didn't matter, 'cause we were younger then, younger then
- It didn't matter, 'cause we were younger then
- Well I don't know where those boys have gone
- But I remember when we broke it up and moved along
- And as the years go by I often think of them
- I don't believe they play anymore
- But nothing ever stays the same as how it was before
- And now I can't go back and sing those songs again
