Lyrics
?Old-Time Feeling?
Capers Simmons
VERSE I
Go down to 42nd street,
Where the bad folks gather around
You can still hear them talking about Big Jim Walker
And how a country boy took him down
Now Willie McCoy told Croce
And Jim Croce, well he told us all
For a while you can feel like the songs he sang were real and believe
CHORUS
They give you that old-time feeling
Like a forty-five spinning
Though you won?t ever see it, you can only believe in
Some of that old time feeling
VERSE II
Gimme the beat, boys, and save my soul
Because I still believe in your rock and roll
We can all drift away when the guitar plays
And get lost in the songs we know
Sam Cooke and John Lennon, too
Ray Charles and Elvis Aron: the King.
For a while, if you try, you can bring them back to life if you believe.
~ CHORUS ~
BRIDGE
They can make the night go by
And take you into the day
Spin a record and close your eyes
And get the feeling again
~ CHORUS I ~
CHORUS II
Get some of that old-time feeling
Like a preacher preaching
No you don?t have to see it to believe that it?s real and
Get some of that old-time feeling.
