Doggone my soul, how I love them old songs  Oh, 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 rock and roll, hey  And when I hear that double-eagle guitar  Makes me think of Carl Parkins when he was a star  Makes me think I'll spend of my nights in a bar  Playin' that old juke box until the honky tonk's locked up  And doggone my soul, they won't leave me alone  Oh, keeps reminding me when I was so far from home  Oh, those heartbreakin', edgemakin' country songs  That take me back to hardwood floors  And outdoor johns and mason jars  It's all I can believe, to believe that it's gone  Those hard rockin', rock and rollin' life that I've known  The dancing stops, but the music she goes on  Doggone my soul, how I love rock and roll  Oh, the dancing's over, but the music she goes on  Doggone my soul, how I love rock and roll  The dancing stops, but the music she goes on  Doggone my soul, how I love rock and roll  The dancing's over, but the music she goes on  Doggone my soul, how I love rock and roll
