HOW I LOVE THEM OLD SONGS?

(Mickey NEWBURY)

Guitar intro

Doggone my soul how I love them old songs
O they were a comfort to me when I was alone
The dancing stops but the music she goes on
Doggone my soul how I love them old songs

Yeah when I hear that double eagle guitar
It makes me think about Carl PERKINS when he was a star
Make me think I spent some of my nights in a bar
Playing that old jukebox ‘til the honky-tonk locked up

Doggone my mind just won't leave me alone
Oh keeps on reminding me when I'm so far from home
O those heart breaking aching eggs and bacon country songs
They take me back to hardwood floors and 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
Oh the dancing is over and the music she goes on
Gosh on my soul, how I love rock n’ roll

Oh the dancing is over and the music she goes on
Gosh on my soul, how I love rock n’ roll

Oh the dancin’s over what your music she goes on
Oh lush on my soul, how I love that ole rock n’ roll
Oh, oh the dancing spot what your music she goes on
Doggone my soul, how I love rock n’ roll
Oh, oh the dancing is over and the music she goes on
Oh gosh on my soul, how I love that ole rock n’ roll
Oh, oh the dancing is over and the music she goes on
Oh gosh on my soul, how I love rock n’ roll
Oh-oh-oh-oh the dancing is over
