"Before Gas and TV"

Misheard Lyrics:

And we'd sit around the fires
Pass a bottle of wine
In the tales of the road
Since time Adamite

Original Lyrics:

And we'd sit around the fires
Pass a bottle of wine
In the tales of the road
Since time out of mind

Story about this misheard lyric by: Lutz

There are a few things I did not hear correctly in this song, but this one in the 4th verse I was sure I understood, and I thought "Adamite" was a fine phrase for something old or eternal. Not so. But I still think it is better than the original text :-)
