Same Old Songs — текст песни (Kris Kristofferson)

I was just a young man workin` 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
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 them cheap motels we stayed in
Hopin` we could take it till we make it to the top
And them nights got a little bit brighter and them bars got a little bit better
And the sweet (in the sweet by and by) just a little bit sweeter
But them blues well it`s still the same old song

Now we`re stars a shinin` on them prime-time TV shows
Every stranger knows our name in ever-little-where we go
Findin` out the bottom ain`t so diffrent on the top
Just a few more friends that you`ll be losin` when you drop
And I left some of my soul on every sweaty sheet I could sleep on
Gettin` just as close to anybody 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 get a little bit better
And the sweet (in the sweet by and by) just a little bit sweeter
But them blues well it`s still the same old song
