Dale Watson - Hello, I'm an Old Country Song lyrics
Hello, Iâm an old country song I ainât been around in a while But it ainât like Iâd really been gone Iâm more like an old suit, thatâs just gone out of style Hey I heard you found somebody new Someone younger, more adept, more alive Not much to say, so I just lift away ÂTil I slid off your radio dial Chorus Iâm here if you ever want me An old friend you forgot that you had If those yearnings ever haunt you Lend an ear, Iâll give you a hand We been through a lot, you and I Weâve cursed, weâve laughed, weâve cried Through love and divorce and the horrors of war When the young ones were born, and the old folks they died Sometimes I hit too close to home And the truth ainât what you want to hear Weâre old friends you and I I wouldnât tell you a lie Even if it spared you a tear >>>Chorus Perhaps Iâm too sad and forlorn A product of some bygone age A little too haggarâd and worn Since I kicked out the footlights and walked off the stage I thought Iâd just drop you a line And let you know âhey, Iâm still aroundâ If youâre ever in need just listen to me And say hello to that old country song >>>Chorus Say hello to an old country song
