Testo Same old song 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

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

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

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

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
