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
