Standard (EADGBE)
Old ways
sure is hard to change 'em
come what may
it's hard to teach a dinosaur a new trick
lately I've been findin' out
I'm set in my ways
Old ways can be a ball and chain
(same chords for all the verses, it seems)
Well I'm gonna stop that grass
and give up all this drinkin'
really gonna make my life last
clean up my whole way of livin'
up until the party last night
I was a different man
But old ways got the way againEconomy was gettin' so bad
I had to lay myself off
but workin' was a habit I had
so I kept showin' up anyway
Then one day things turned around
I got my back pay
Old ways coming through againI got old ways
I got old ways
Old ways
I got old ways
