Abe Manuel, Jr. - Wishing All These Old Things Were New lyrics

Watchin' while some old friends do a line Holdin' back the want to in my own addicted mind Wishin' it was still the thing even I could do Wishin' all these old things were new Watchin' while some young men go to jail And they show it all on TV just to see somebody fail And I guess there's not a single thing a man like me can do Wishin' all these old things were new Wishin' all these old things were new Good times like the roarin' '20s and the roarin' '80s too Thinkin' about the good old days before it all fell through Wishin' all these old things were new The kids don't want my cigarettes around They say it's time that dad should lay tobacco down But if I could start all over guess I'd still do what I do Wishin' all these old things were new (Chorus) Wishin' all these old things were new
