Old Stuff Better Songtext
von Mo Pitney

I′ve got a closet full of brand new jeans
That just don't feel as good to me
As this holey, worn out pair that I′ve got on
And I could buy a brand new truck
But there's somethin' ′bout dents and rust
That won′t let a guy forget where he came from

Yeah, a new ride would have brand new leather
But I like the old stuff better

There's somethin′ 'bout an old-time town
An old café, an old courthouse
That makes me wanna stop and buy a Coke
I love old songs, old guitars
Jukebox, old country stars
And scratchy 45s, poppin′ noise


Hey, I like CDs too, but for the record
I like the old stuff better

Must be where I came from
'Cause it′s always where I go
Yeah, I know I was born with an old soul
Hey, I like things with history
And a story to be told
I guess that's just the way I'm put together
Yeah, I like the old stuff better

Yeah, I′m not knockin′ progress
I'm glad we′re gainin' ground
But sometimes I just wish we could slow down
That′s why I love when Mama writes me
She puts paper to pen
Yeah, I've got that drawer where I keep all her letters


Even I′ll admit, email's pretty clever
But I like the old stuff better
I like the old stuff better
