I'm dustin' off Hank and I'm puttin' him on   And I'm gonna drink one and listen to a country song   The way it sounded in nineteen fifty two   I'm takin' some old things and makin' 'em new      I'm pickin' up the phone and I'm startin' to dial   A number of friends I haven't talked to in a while   And I'm gonna tell 'em that I love 'em, yes, I do   I'm takin' some old things and makin' 'em new      Lately, my world's been movin' 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 takin' some old things and makin' 'em new      I'm takin' your picture out of that drawer   And I'm gonna hold you close to my chest once more   Rememberin' the love that felt so true   I'm takin' some old things and makin' 'em new      Baby, my world's been movin' 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 takin' some old things and makin' 'em new      Strummin' my D-18 and hummin' a Haggard tune   I'm takin' some old things and makin' 'em new   I'm takin' some old things and makin' 'em new
