I'm dusting off Hank and I'm putting him on
And I'm gonna drink one and listen to a country song
The way it sounded in nineteen-fifty-two
I'm taking some old things and making them new

I'm picking up the phone and I'm starting to dial
A number of friends I haven't talked to in a while
And I'm gonna tell them that I love them, yes I do
I'm taking some old things and making them new

Lately my world's been moving way too fast
I need to slow down and catch up with some of the past
Maybe go back home and stay for a week or two
I'm taking some old things and making them new

I'm taking your picture out of that drawer
And I'm gonna hold you close to my chest once more
Remembering the love that felt so true
I'm taking some old things and making them new

Baby, my world's been moving way too fast
I need to slow down and catch up with some of the past
Maybe go back home and stay for a week or two
I'm taking some old things and making them new

Strumming my D-18 and humming a Haggard tune
I'm taking some old things and making them new
I'm taking some old things and making them new
