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. 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..
