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
