Doggone my soul, how I love them old songs
They were a comfort to me when I was alone
The dancin' stops but the music goes on
Doggone my soul how I love them old songs
Hey, when I hear that double eagle guitar
It makes me think how trouble free, girl we are
There was a time I spent my nights in a bar
Playin' that old juke box until the honky tonky locked up
Doggone my mind just won't leave me alone
Keeps on reminding me I'm so far from home
Those heart breakin', achin', eggs and bacon country songs
Take me back to hard wood floors, outdoor johns, and mason jars
And it's all I can do to make me believe that's it's gone
That hard knockin', rockin'n rollin' life that I've known
But when the dancin's over, and the music must go on
Doggone my soul how I love them old songs
(Doggone my soul, how I love them old songs
They were a comfort to me when I was alone)
Doggone my soul, how I love them old songs
They were a comfort to me when I was alone
The dancin' stops but the music must go on
Doggone my soul how I love them old songs
(Doggone my soul, how I love them old songs
They were a comfort to me when I was alone)
