Brooks garth the old stuff lyrics

(Bryan Kennedy, Dan Roberts, Garth Brooks) 

 

  Oh I said a little prayer tonight 

  Before I came on stage 

  As I came walkin' past the drivers and the locals on

 the union wage 

  I asked the dear Lord up in heaven 

  Let me treat the music right 

  Then I prayed that Detroit 

  Goes wild tonight 

 

  Seven pickers and all our gear in a rental van 

  Playin' music never sleepin' and workin' on a neon

 tan 

  We played The Barn down in Sanford Florida 

  For Bev Roberts out in Camden Park 

  We plugged it in up east at Bull Run and the place

 went dark 

 

  Back when the old stuff was new 

  Back before the buses and the hard workin' boys in

 the crew 

  It was one big party 

  But the business called it payin' our dues 

  Back when the old stuff was new 

 

  Oh the stories we could tell 

  If it weren't for the code of the road 

  About The Buckboard, Bear Creek, Cowboys, and the

 Grizzly Rose 

  You know the weather turned bad in Scottsdale 

  A tornado nearly stole the show 

  We just danced in the rain and listened to the

 thunder roll 

 

  Back when the old stuff was new 

  Hats off to the K.C. Opry and ellA GURU'S 

  It was one big party 

  Uncle Joe you know we owe it to you 

  Back when the old stuff was new 

 

  No rules young fools comin' from the old school 

  Takin' on the world alone 

  Next date can't wait tearin' up the interstate 

  Every place we played was home 

  Balls out no doubt this is what it's all about 

  Beggin' for a place to play 

  Swingin' with our old friends 

  Prayin' that it never ends 

  Wouldn't trade a single day 

 

  Back when the old stuff was new 

  Back before the buses and the hard workin' boys in

 the crew 

  It was one big party 

  But the paper's called it payin' our dues 

  Back when the old stuff was new 

 

  Hey it's still one big party 

  You can call it whatever you choose 

  You make me feel like the old stuff is new
