Lyrics The Same Old Song - Ronnie Hawkins

I was just a young man walking steady in a good time band
If you never sing a lick I could
Just to please the man
Hawkins sang the lead ahead
And we split up the rest
Hanging on through the havoc time
And hoping for the best
And I cant recall the names of all the places that we played in
And all them screaming party girls
And bills we used to part
Howdy ever sleep in them them cheap motels we stayed in
Hoping we could take till we'd make to the top

And them light, got a little bit brighter
And them ours, got a little bit better
And the sweet, just a little bit sweeter
Butchem blues
And it's still the same old song

Now we are stars in a channel
On a prime time tv show
Everspringson knows our name
Every little where we go
Finding out the bottom ain't so different from the top
Just a few more friends and you would be losing when you are dry
And he leaves somewhere around my soul on every sweaty sheet
That I could sleep on
Getting just as close to anybody as I could
But I don't I regret a single thing I laid my body down
Cause ever since the first I had, the worst I had was good

And them light, get a little bit lighter
And them brass, get a little better
And the sweet, sweet, just a little bit sweeter
Butchem blues
And its still the old song
