Same Old Song

(专辑： Spooky Lady's Sideshow - 1974)

I was just a young man
Working steady in a good time band
Picking every single little lick I could
Just to please the man
Harlan sang the lead for half
And we split up the rest
Hanging on through the heavy times
And hoping for the best

And I can't recall the names of all
Them places that we played in
All them squirrely party girls
And pills we used to pop
Hardly ever sleeping in
Those cheap motels we stayed in
Hoping we could take it 'til we'd 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 it's still the same old song

Now we're stars and shining on
Them prime time t.v. shows
Every stranger knows our name
And every little where we go
Finding out the bottom ain't so different
From the top
Just a few more friends that you'll be losing
When you drop

And I've left some of my soul on
Every sweaty sheet that I could sleep on
Getting just as close to any body as I could
I don't regret a single bed I've 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 it's still the same old song
