old '59

jerry jeff walker

the other night we was having fun

seemed like the party had just begun

everybody was getting loose

a couple friends i was talking to

they said

whoa yeah it feels just like it used to

oh yeah

it feels so fine

oh yeah

it feels like 1959

took me back to the good old days

be-bop-a-lula was all the craze

when nothing matters except having fun

and rocking all night till the rising sun

say whoa yeah

it feels like it used to. so everybody will get up and dance

happy feet

the whole band will be rocking on a greasy beat

tweedlee dee

yeah

the rocking robin was in the trees

betty sue was always next to me

'cause everybody needs to party down

to be with them when they're feeling wild

whoa yeah

it feels like it used to. now everybody's got themselves a head of steam

jimmy clanton is singing everything is just a dream

just a dream

just a dream

that's the way it felt that night

like we was back there in '59

jitterbugging like we were at the hop

felt so good you don't want to stop

say oh no

it feels just like it used to.
