Lyrics Kris Kristofferson – Same Old Song

I was just a young man
Working steady in a good time band
Pickin’ every single little lick I could
Just to please the man

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 sleepin’ in
Those cheap motels we stayed in
Hopin’ 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
Findin’ out the bottom ain’t so different
From the top
Just a few more friends that you’ll be losin’
When you drop

And I’ve left some of my soul on
Every sweaty sheet that I could sleep on

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
