"Old Ways" lyrics

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 finding out I'm set in my ways
Old ways can be a ball and chain

Ah, I'm going to stop that grass
And give up all this drinking
Really going to 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 showing up anyway
Then one day things turned around, I got my back pay
Old ways coming through again

I got old ways
I got old ways
Old ways
I got old ways
Ooh old ways
