"Hello, I'm An Old Country Song" lyrics - 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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Say hello to an old country song
