[Verse 1]
Old ways
Sure is hard to change 'em
Come what may
It's hard to teach a dinosaur a new trick
Lately I've been finding out I'm set in my ways
Old ways can be a ball and chain

[Verse 2]
Ah, I'm going to stop that grass
And give up all this drinkin'
Really going to 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 their way again

[Verse 3]
The economy was gettin' so bad
I had to lay myself off
Well, workin' was a habit I had
So I kept showing up anyway
Then one day things turned around, I got my back pay
Old ways comin' through again

[Outro]
I got old ways
I got old ways
Old ways
I got old ways
Ooh old ways
