APeople sit around and they talk and talk how their dreams all ended too Esoon
Guess they never hung out under the stars Ahowlin' at the moon

I Aguess we're as different as night and day I Dcan see it in a different light
A
I don't tEhink much about the good Aol' days, just about the good ol' nights
[CHORUS]
Talk about the Dgood times
Talk about the Atimes when the times were right
You can keep the good ol' Edays
I'll take the good ol' Anights
[SOLO]
(Waylon):
AThey wanna go back to when a Cadillac didn't look like a ChevErolet
It meant a lot to them but not a thing to me I never owned one Aanyway
(Willie):
But Aa good lookin' woman and an old guitar with Dboth of them tuned just right
Well I don't think much about the Agood ol' days, Ejust about the good ol' Anights
[CHORUS]
Talk about the Dgood times
Talk about the Atimes when the times were right
You can keep the good ol' Edays
I'll take the good ol' Anights
You can keep the good ol' Edays
I'll take the good ol' Anights
