Old Things

from Orphan Songs by Darryl Gregory

/

about

This song was taken from a FaceBook post by my Texas cousin Brian Gregory and how he likes old things and going to yard sales and finding old stuff to take home.

lyrics

Verse:
I love drivin’ an old car
And the way they rumble right along
The smell of rust and oil
Push in a button to find a song

Verse:
And I love an old dog
They give you love til their dying day
Showing me how to get back up
Even though we’re too sore to play

Chorus:
Yeah I love the old things
Yeah I love the old ways
I trust the tried and true
The red white and blue
And the dusty old road
That brings me home to you

Verse:
I love the old time music
Evenings on the porch in a glider swing
Sippin on sweet tea
Strumming my Daddy’s old six string

Verse:
I love the old stuff people call junk
Hidden in the barn loft back aways
Old trunks, old coins, old toys and magazines
Memories of easier days

Chorus:
Yeah I love the old things
Yeah I love the old ways
I trust the tried and true
The red white and blue
And the dusty old road
That brings me home to you

Bridge:
Well I’m looking ahead and looking back
All in the same frame
I ain’t afraid of dying
Just hopin’ y’all remember my name
And so I walk into the years
With no plan in mind
Yes I may be an old stone
But I’m happy I’ve been weathered by time

Chorus:
Cuz I love the old things
Yeah I love the old ways
I trust the tried and true
The red white and blue
And the dusty old road
That brings me home to you
