This tune makes my heart happy. It is especially appropriate after Covid since live music isn't happening. It's fun to hum this upbeat tune and dance around the kitchen. Thanks Kyle for lifting our spirits with your songs.

about
Good Time Old Time is a modern take on an old time sound, the sound that you hear on a Saturday night in the country when musicians gather to play music together and have a good old time.
This tune was written by Kyle O'Brien and the track was produced by Chance McCoy (of Old Crow Medicine Show) in rural West Virginia, March 2020.
Released 2021
lyrics
Across the bridge and down the road, about once a month or so it's told
People come from all around, to hear us make that old time sound
Hey everyone it’s Saturday night now's the time to do wrong, right
Drink some cider through a straw
Tear one up and have a ball
I’m looking for a good time old time, baby that’s what I need
I’m looking for a good time, old time a good time yes indeed
I’m looking for a good time old time, makes me feel alright
I’m looking for a good time old time, it’s a good time here tonight
Over by the bar that’s Uncle Pen, you know he’ll scratch and moan all day
But Let him fill his drink up son, tonight I think he’s here to play
Rosin up your fiddle bow, pass the flask around now son
Pick a tune that we all know, make that old time sound hum
I’m looking for a good time old time, baby that’s what I need
I’m looking for a good time, old time a good time yes indeed
I’m looking for a good time old time, makes me feel alright
I’m looking for a good time old time, it’s a good time here tonight
Hey there’s little miss Suzey, momma always calls her boozy
She can dance, and she can sing, she can make that guitar ring
She don’t always act lady, but I love her biscuits and gravy
Give her a wave and just maybe, she’ll come over and dance with us
Come on Suzey
I’m looking for a good time old time, baby that’s what I need
I’m looking for a good time, old time a good time yes indeed
I’m looking for a good time old time, makes me feel alright
I’m looking for a good time old time, it’s a good time here tonight
I’m looking for a good time old time, baby that’s what I need
I’m looking for a good time, old time a good time yes indeed
I’m looking for a good time old time, makes me feel alright
I’m looking for a good time old time, it’s a good time here tonight
