lyrics

Broken hearted and I haven’t had a drink all day
Sick and tired of all the fighting and the wars we wage
Bought a banjo with the last 20 bucks I had
Now I’m singing and my body doesn’t feel so bad

Made my living on liquor stained stages and bars
Gave ‘em notice, baby, now I’m shooting for the stars
Bought a ticket but I haven’t got a place to stay
Got a feeling, honey, these are the good old days

And the look of love will break your heart
And the plans you made will fall apart

Met a girl from Holland out on Bourbon Street
Never caught her name but damn, she was pretty and sweet
Heard the river calling down where the trombones play
Got a feeling, honey, these are the good old days

Got my records and my favorite pair of shoes
My piano and there’s nothing else left to lose
But something told me that I’d end up singing the blues

And the look of love will break your heart
And the plans you made will fall apart

Ghetto blaster and a cold six pack of beer
Made a promise that it’s gonna be a better year
Missed my train but now the sun’s shining on my face
Got a feeling, honey, these are the good old days

Got a feeling, maybe these are the good old days
Got a feeling, honey, these are the good old days
