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
