Lyrics:

That old time feeling, comes sneaking down the hall
Like an old gray cat in the winter keeping close to the wall
That old time feeling hangs around in the bars
Like an old time loser who don't recall who you are

That old time feeling, draws circles ´round the block
Like old women with no children holding hands with the clock
And that old time feeling comes and goes in the rain
Like an old man with his checkers can't find the gain

Oh that old time feeling lives thru the night on a crutch
Like an old sailor wondering if he's paid to much
And that old time feeling holds on his face in the dark
Like an old wino crane he can make it into the park

They say that old time feeling ain't as bad as it seems
So tell it to the young folks who still have hopes and dreams
Cause that old time feeling will come sneaking down the hall
Like and old gray cat in the winter keeping close to the wall
