I SPENT MY LIFETIME
WISHIN'
THE WAITRESS
WOULD COME AROUND
TELLIN' JOKES
AND SHOOTIN' POOL
ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF TOWN
WHEN THE
WHISTLE BLOWS
AT FIVE O'CLOCK
THERE'S ONLY
ONE PLACE
I'LL BE FOUND
DOWN AT ERNIE'S
ICEHOUSE
LIFTIN' LONGNECKS
TO THAT GOOD OLD
COUNTRY SOUND
AND TALKIN' 'BOUT
THE GOOD OLD TIMES
BRAGGIN' ON
HOW IT USED TO BE
BUT I'VE WORN OUT
THE SAME OLD LINES
AND NOW IT SEEMS
NOTHIN'S NEWS
TO ME
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
THERE'S NOTHIN' LIKE
A STEEL GUITAR
CRYIN' IN THE NIGHT
THERE'S NOTHIN' LIKE
A SAWDUST FLOOR
AND A GOOD OLD
FRIENDLY FIGHT
I'D FINALLY FIND
MY WAY BACK HOME
AND YOU'D PATCH UP
MY FACE
BUT THAT WAS
ANOTHER TIME
AND ANOTHER PLACE
NOW WE'RE
TALKIN' 'BOUT
THE GOOD OLD TIMES
BRAGGIN' ON
HOW IT USED TO BE
BUT I'VE WORN OUT
THE SAME OLD LINES
AND NOW IT SEEMS
NOTHIN'S NEWS
TO ME
I WONDER
HOW I CAME TO BE
THE KNOW-IT-ALL I AM
AND HOW THE WORLD
EVER GOT
USED TO ME
TALKIN' 'BOUT
THE GOOD OLD TIMES
BRAGGIN' ON
HOW IT USED TO BE
BUT I'VE WORN OUT
THE SAME OLD LINES
AND NOW IT SEEMS
NOTHIN'S NEWS
TO ME
