Old ways, it sure is hard to change ´em Come what may It´s hard to teach
a dinosaur a new trick Lately I´ve been finding out I´m set in my ways Old ways, can be your ball and chain. Oh, I´m gonna stop that grass And give up all this drinking Really gonna make my life last Clean up my whole way of living Up until the party last night
[ Harmonica ]
I was a different man But old ways got their way again. The economy was getting so bad
I had to lay myself off Well, working was a habit I had So I kept showin´ up anyway Then one day things turned around I got my back pay Old ways comin´ through again. I got old ways.
