Same Old Song K. Kristofferson Album: Spooky Lady’s Sideshow [Intro] I was just a young man workin’ steady in a good time band Pickin’ every single little lick I could just to please the man Harlan sang the lead for half and we split up the rest Hangin’ on thru the heavy times and hopin’ for the best I can’t recall the names of all them places that we played in All them squirrely party girls and pills we used to pop Hardly ever sleepin’ in them cheap motels we stayed in Hopin’ we could take it ’til we’d make it to the top [Chorus] And them nights got a little bit brighter And them bars got a little bit better And the sweet just a little bit sweeter But them blues.....are still the still old song (KEY CHANGE TO E) Now we’re stars shinin’ on them prime time TV shows Every stranger knows our name and every little where we go Findin’ out the bottom ain’t so different from the top Just a few more friends you’d be losin’ when you drop And I left some of my soul on every sweaty sheet that I could sleep on Gettin’ just as close to anybody as I could I don’t regret a single bet I’ve laid my body down on Ever since the first I had the worst I had was good [Chorus] And them nights get a little bit brighter And them bars get a little bit better And the sweet just a little bit sweeter But them blues......well it’s still the same old song
