I spent my lifetime wishin' the waitress would come around
  Tellin' jokes and shootin' pool on the other side of town
  When the whistle blows at five o'clock there's only one place I'll be found
  Down at Ernie's icehouse liftin' longnecks to that good old country sound
  And talkin' 'bout the good old times
  Braggin' on how it used to be
  But I've worn out the same old lines
  And now it seems nothing's news to me
  There's nothin' like a steel guitar cryin' in the night
  There's nothin' like a sawdust floor and a good old friendly fight
  I'd finally find my way back home and you'd patch up my face
  But that was another time and another place
  Repeat chorus
  And now we're talkin' 'bout the good old times...
  I wonder how I came to be the know-it-all I am
  And how the world ever got used to me
  Repeat chorus
