Corb Lund - The Oldest Rythym lyrics

All the good men have gone East. Tired of the panoply and fury of the Western beast And now that all hostilities and prisoners of war have been released They're teaching Anglais to the natives til the global redistributing is ceased And all the good men have gone East. Mark and Daniel, Jon and Paul are gone and Richard's lying heart to join the feast And I know the oldest rhythm Is the hustle of the goin' and gone But I'll keep dancing I guess I oughtta when they're gone And I know the oldest rhythm Is the shuffle of the goin' and gone But I'll keep dancing I guess I gotta Now that they're gone All the good men have gone East To Try to find enlightenment or oriental concubines at least And all my good friends have gone East Leaving me behind on this frontier And without any kind of peace And I know the oldest rhythm Is the hustle of the goin' and gone But I'll keep dancing I guess I gotta When they're gone And I know the oldest rhythm Is the shuffle of the goin' and gone But I'll keep dancing I guess I gotta Now that they're gone And I'll get lonesome and lonely For a missing brother I have known I'll get lonesome, and lonely Alone. Cause it's a deeper And a different Kinda hurtin that a lovers long Not as pointed But more prooven And just as strong And I know the oldest rhythm Is the hustle of the goin' and gone But I'll keep dancing I guess I oughtta When they're gone And you know the oldest rhythm Is the shuffle of the goin' and gone They'll keep dancing And that's important when I'm gone.
