I spent my lifetime wishin' 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 ice house liftin' long necks 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 nothing's news to me
There's nothin' like a steel guitar cryin' in the night
Nothin' like the sawdust floor and a good old friendly fight
I'd finally find my way back home and you'd patch up my face
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 nothing'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
Talking 'bout the good old times
Braggin' 'bout how it used to be
But I've worn out the same old lines
Now it seems nothing's news to me
