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 oclock theres only one place Ill be found
Down at ernies icehouse liftin longnecks to that good old country sound
And talkin bout the good old times
Braggin on how it used to be
But Ive worn out the same old lines
And now it seems nothings news to me
Theres nothin like a steel guitar cryin in the night
Theres nothin like a sawdust floor and a good old friendly fight
Id finally find my way back home and youd patch up my face
But that was another time and another place
Repeat chorus
And now were talkin bout the good old times...
I wonder how I came to be the know-it-all I am
And how the world ever got used to me
Repeat chorus
