Old Ways

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. I got old ways.
