Same Old Song Lyrics - Singles - Kris Kristofferson

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 

Harlan sang the lead for half 

And we split up the rest 

Hangin' on through the heavy times 

And hopin' 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 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 

Photos 

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 

Gettin' 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]
