Same Old Song

I was just a young man
Working 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 through the heavy times
And hopin for the best
And I cant 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
Those cheap motels we stayed in
Hopin we could take it til wed make it to the top
Chorus:
And them nights, get a little bit brighter
And them bars just a little bit better
And the sweet, just a little bit sweeter
But them blues, well its still the same old song
Now were stars and shining on
Them prime time t.v. shows
Every stranger knows our name
And every little where we go
Findin out the bottom aint so different
From the top
Just a few more friends that youll be losin
When you drop
And Ive left some of my soul on
Every sweaty sheet that I could sleep on
Gettin just as close to any body as I could
I dont regret a single bed Ive 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 just a little bit better
And the sweet, just a little bit sweeter
But them blues, well its still the same old song
