Same Old Song Lyrics

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                                         
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:                                               
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
