Old Days Lyrics - Same Old Man - John Hiatt

Old Days 

I Was Sittin' In The Dressing Room With Brownie Mcgee 

He Was Drinkin' That Milk With That Dewar's Whiskey 

Said John, There's Nothin' Written Anywhere 

Suggests The Blues Will Set You Free 

Old Days Are Comin' Back To Me 

I Was Ridin' In The Back Seat, With Sonny Terry 

Little Harmonica Player Used To Drive Him Around 

I Think His Name Was Harry 

Tried To Get Him To Eat Tofu, Raw Vegetables, Nuts, And Berries 

But Sonny Wasn't Havin' Any Of It 

He Let Me Share A Room With 'Em For A Couple Of Weeks 

Sonny Slept With His Good Eye Open Staring Out From Under The Sheets 

I Was Young And Uncomfortable I Don't Mind Tellin' Ya Kinda Gave Me The Creeps 

Old Days Are Comin' Back To Me

Old Days Are Comin' Back To Me 

Don't Know What Was So Good About 'Em 

I Played Practically Free 

I Had Nothin' To Live Up To 

Everywhere To Be 

Old Days Are Comin' Back To Me 

On Some Dates With Mose Allison Somewhere Out In The Midwest 

Said Some Of My Lyrics Reminded Him Of The Poet Kenneth Patchen 

I Took It As A Compliment 

He Was Referring To The Line About Wearin' Neon Signs On Your Wounds 

Later On I Knew What He Meant 

Old Days Are Comin' Back To Me 

On A Date With John Lee er At A Packed Joint Up In Washington 

He Came In With A Gorgeous Woman On Each Arm As I Was Singing My Song 

Walked 'Em Right Up And Sat 'Em On The Edge Of The Stage As I Went Singing Along 

And That's Called "Evenin' Son, I'm The Headliner"

Old Days Are Comin' Back To Me 

I Don't Know What Was So Great About 'Em 

I Played Practically Free 

But I Had Nothing To Live Up To 

And Everywhere To Be 

Old Days Are Comin' Back To Me 

Played A Gig With John Hammond Jr. Up In Vancouver BC 

Exotic Dancer Came In My Dressing Room, Started Dancing Exotically 

They Were Smoking Something In The Audience That Night, Smelled Exactly Like Cat Pee 

Old Days Are Comin' Back To Me 

Opened Up A Gig For Gatemouth Brown Down In Baton Rouge 

He Was Playing That Hillbilly, Jazz, Cajun, Country, Zydeco, And Blues 

Throwin' It Out Past The Walls Like Some Kind Of Musical Centrifuge 

Old Days Are Comin' Back To Me 

Old Days Are Comin' Back To Me 

I Don't Know What Was So Good About 'Em 

I Played Practically Free 

But I Had Nothin' To Live Up To 

Everywhere To Be 

Old Days Are Comin' Back To Me 

Old Days Are Comin' Back To Me 

I Don't Know What Was So Great About 'Em 

I Played Practically Free 

But I Had Nothin' To Live Up To 

Everywhere To Be 

Old Days Are Comin' Back To Me 

Old Days Are Comin' Back To Me
