Same Old Song — текст песни (Kristofferson Kris)

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
