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
