Old Time Country Halls (Live from Studio 301, Sydney, Australia/1996)

Hey

As I pick up my guitar to sing another song

I hear the walls of this old hall

You've done this thing too long

You know you've been around for years

I guess you've shown us all

I talk like this when I reminisce

With an old time country hall

I joined a tent show as a kid

With a dream and an old guitar

De Silvers All-Star Cavalcade and Dante was the star

He taught me lots about the game today I understand

He was a great magician Dante was a fine old man

I'm a howling cattle camp crooner

I'm an old time dinosaur

Hey let me sing where the rafters ring

In an old time country hall

Take where

Hey

Oh ya

I've been on the road for thirty years

But Dante could double that

And you'll find his faded posters

Still in some halls way out back

I like to go back stage

And dream sometimes and just recall

The shows I've had the good and bad

Shared with these country halls

Take the old Town Hall Kalgoorlie

With it's old time charm and grace

That your multi million complexes never will replace

All glass and steel and concrete

Some large and some too small

And let me sing where the rafters ring

In an old time country hall

I'm a howling cattle camp crooner

I'm an old time dinosaur

Hey let me sing where the rafters ring

In an old time country hall

I'm a howling cattle camp crooner

I'm an old time dinosaur

Hey let me sing where the rafters ring

In an old time country hall

In an old time country hall

In an old time country hall
