Hello, I'm an Old Country Song - Dale Watson

Hello, I’m an old country song

I ain’t been around in a while

But it ain’t like I’d really been gone

I’m more like an old suit, that’s just gone out of style

Hey I heard you found somebody new

Someone younger, more adept, more alive

Not much to say, so I just lift away

‘Til I slid off your radio dial

I’m here if you ever want me

An old friend you forgot that you had

If those yearnings ever haunt you

Lend an ear, I’ll give you a hand

We been through a lot, you and I

We’ve cursed, we’ve laughed, we’ve cried

Through love and divorce and the horrors of war

When the young ones were born, and the old folks they died

Sometimes I hit too close to home

And the truth ain’t what you want to hear

We’re old friends you and I I wouldn’t tell you a lie

Even if it spared you a tear

Perhaps I’m too sad and forlorn

A product of some bygone age

A little too haggar’d and worn

Since I kicked out the footlights and walked off the stage

I thought I’d just drop you a line

And let you know «hey, I’m still around»

If you’re ever in need just listen to me

And say hello to that old country song

Say hello to an old country song
