C    F
Old ways
  A#               F
sure is hard to change 'em
 C         F
come what may
      A#                         F
it's hard to teach a dinosaur a new trick
  A#              C
lately I've been findin' out
 F             A#
I'm set in my ways
     F    C                  F
Old ways can be a ball and chain

Well I'm gonna stop that grass
and give up all this drinkin'
really gonna make my life last
clean up my whole way of livin'
up until the party last night
I was a different man
But old ways got the way again

Economy was gettin' so bad
I had to lay myself off
but workin' was a habit I had
so I kept showin' up anyway
Then one day things turned around
I got my back pay
Old ways coming through again

I got old ways
I got old ways
Old ways
I got old ways
