Doggone my soul how I love them old songs They were a comfort to me when I was alone The dancing stops but the music goes on Doggone my soul how I love them old songs Oh 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 Playing that old jukebox 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 breaking aching eggs and bacon country songs They take me back to hardwood floors out door johns and mason jars It's all I can do to believe that it's gone That hard knocking rock and rolling life that I've known But the dancing is over and the music must go on Doggone my soul how I love them old songs how I love them old songs
