old songs - the pointer sisters lyrics

way down upon the swanee river
they had a special kind of song
to help them push the work along
they’d hum it to the rhythm of the old diesel

and don’t you know that something happened
when they’d sing it to the snappin’
of the chattanooga shoeshine boy
they give it a [?] rhythm
they brought it with them
that was the birth of the blues

charleston, charleston
just look what those white boys done
jazzy, snazzy
swingin’ to the singer in a be*bop band

i dream of jeannie with the light brown hair
and there’s no place like home

i mean i’ve been wanderin’ high and low
to find a good old record
a good gold record i could dig to hear
but it’s clear that these days, they just don’t make ’em
some folks break ’em just to spite me
you know that they’ve taken my memory lane
and made it a six*lane freeway
telling me, baby, it’s the way to fly high
well, i know when i’m beat
gotta go take my seat
i’m going where i’m better known
i need those
old songs, old songs
i hop from bar to bar
i wander near and far, for
old songs, solid gold songs
they take me back way
into my young days
those old songs

you and i are older now and very far apart (very far apart)
still it’s true, the thought of you
does strange things to my heart (strange things to my heart)
all the songs are made today
with fewer loves than mine
but, baby, just as long as i can hear
the songs of yesteryear
i get along just fine

i wanna hear those
old songs, old songs
i mean a melody
that wakes the memory
like those old songs

now, brother, you can’t try to tell me
you like those new songs
better than tried and true songs
i know that i never, i never had one of them yet
put a smile on my face
i know that i never had one of them yet
that would give me a case of the low*down dirties
the blue of the night meets the cold of the day
now they’re the songs that really say the things i wanna say
they mean a lot to me
they really got to me when i was younger

you and i are older now and very far apart
still it’s true, the thought of you
does strange things to my heart
and all the songs i made today
with a hip*hop stance in mind
but, baby, just as long as i can hear
the songs of yesteryear
i’m just fine

i wanna hear those
old songs, old songs
they take me back a ways
into my younger days
and old, old, old, old songs
solid gold songs
i mean a melody
nothing means as much to me
