Waylon Jennings Good Ol' Nights Lyrics

People sit around and they talk and talk
How their dreams all ended too soon
Guess they never hung out under the stars
Howling at the moon
I guess we're as different as nine and eight
I see it in a different light
I don't think much about the good ol' days
Just about the good ol' nights

Talk about the good times
Talk about the times when the times were right
You can keep the good ol' days I'll take the good ol' nights [ guitar ]
They wanna go back to when a Cadillac
Didn't look like a Chevrolet
It mean't a lot to them but not a thing to me
I never owned one anyway
But a good looking woman and an old guitar
With both of them tuned just right
Well I don't think much about the good ol' days
Just about the good ol' nights

Talk about the good times...
You can keep the good ol' days I'll take the good ol' nights
