Old Things New

(album: Old Things New - 2009)

I'm dusting off Hank and I'm putting him on
And I'm gonna drink one and listen to a country song
The way it sounded in nineteen fifty-two
I'm taking some old things and making 'em new

I'm picking up the phone and I'm starting to dial
A number of friends I haven't talked to in a while
And I'm gonna tell 'em that I love 'em, yes I do
I'm taking some old things and making 'em new

Lately, my world's been moving way too fast
I need to slow down and catch up with some of the past
Maybe go back home and stay for a week or two
I'm taking some old things and making 'em new

I'm taking your picture out of that drawer
And I'm gonna hold you close to my chest once more
Remembering the love felt so true
I'm taking some old things and making 'em new

Baby, my world's been moving way too fast
I need to slow down and catch up with some of the past
Maybe go back home and stay for a week or two
I'm taking some old things and making 'em new

Strumming my D-18 and humming a Haggard tune
I'm taking some old things and making 'em new
I'm taking some old things and making 'em new
