Dale Watson - Hello, I'm an Old Country Song lyrics

Hello, I’m an old country song I ain’t been around in a while But it ain’t like I’d really been gone I’m more like an old suit, that’s 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 €˜Til I slid off your radio dial Chorus I’m here if you ever want me An old friend you forgot that you had If those yearnings ever haunt you Lend an ear, I’ll give you a hand We been through a lot, you and I We’ve cursed, we’ve laughed, we’ve 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 ain’t what you want to hear We’re old friends you and I I wouldn’t tell you a lie Even if it spared you a tear >>>Chorus Perhaps I’m too sad and forlorn A product of some bygone age A little too haggar’d and worn Since I kicked out the footlights and walked off the stage I thought I’d just drop you a line And let you know “hey, I’m still around” If you’re ever in need just listen to me And say hello to that old country song >>>Chorus Say hello to an old country song
