I can remember the good old days
When the boys knew how to play their axe
Singers wailed and the drummers slayed
Man, those are just the facts
The energy grooved, the kind thing that moves ya
Makes you want to scream and shout
Not again, another new style, I think I'll sit this one out

I'm gonna light one for the old guard
Gonna light one for the new
Gonna shake down real hard, sing them the blues
I'm gonna light one for the old guard
Gonna light one for the new
Gonna shake down real hard, how 'bout you?

Remember when you could see a band?
And they'd blow you right away?
You'd go home and practice as hard as you can
Really learn how to play
Moving on and those days are long gone
I think it is a crying shame
Tell you one thing
We have ourselves to blame

I'm gonna light one for the old guard
I'm gonna light one for the new
I'm gonna shake down real hard, show them the views
I'm gonna light one for the old guard
Gonna light one for the new
Gonna shake down real hard, sing them the blues

Proud of where I came from
Proud of where I am
We'll all be dated sometime, dish out all your slams
I ain't on the ego plan
Don't need the praise of man
God above's my only love
He takes me as I am

I'm gonna light one for the old guard
Gonna light one for the new
Gonna shake down real hard, show them the blues
I'm gonna light one for the old guard
Gonna light one for the new
Gonna shake down real hard, how 'bout you?
Let's light one for the old guard
Let's light one for the new
Let's shake down real hard, show them the blues
Let's light one for the old guard
Let's light one for the new
Let's shake down real hard, show them the blues
