Lyrics for How I Love Them Old Songs

Dog gone my soul how I love them old songs 'Cause they were a comfort to me when I was alone The dancin' stops but the music goes on Dog gone my soul how I love them old songs Ah 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 jukebox until the honky tonkie locked up Dog gone my mind it just won't leave me alone Keeps on remindin' me I'm so far from home Them heart breakin' achin' eggs and bacon country songs Well they take me back to hardwood floors Outdoor johns and mason jars It's all I can do to believe that it's gone That hard knockin' rockin' rollin' life that I've known Well, the dancin's all over the music must go on Dog gone my soul how I love them old songs
