I'm dustin' off Hank and I'm puttin' him on And I'm gonna drink one and listen to a country song The way it sounded in nineteen fifty-two I'm takin' some old things and makin' 'em new
I'm pickin' up the phone and I'm startin' 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 takin' some old things and makin' 'em new
Lately, my world's been movin' 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 takin' some old things and makin' 'em new
I'm takin' your picture out of that drawer And I'm gonna hold you close to my chest once more Rememberin' the love felt so true I'm takin' some old things and makin' 'em new
Baby, my world's been movin' 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 takin' some old things and makin' 'em new
Strummin' my D-18 and hummin' a Haggard tune I'm takin' some old things and makin' 'em new I'm takin' some old things and makin' 'em new.
