Watching while some old friends do a line
|
Holding back the want to end my own addicted mind
|
Wishin’ it was still the thing even I could do
|
Wishin’ all these old things were new
|
|
Watching 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 roaring 20’s and
|
The roaring 80’s too
|
Thinking 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
|
|
Wishin’ all these old things were new
|
Good times like the roaring 20’s and
|
The roaring 80’s too
|
Thinking about the good old days
|
Before it all fell through
|
Wishin’ all these old things were new
|
Wishin’ all these old things were new
|
