Neil Young Old Ways lyrics

Old ways
It 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 your ball and chain

Oh, I'm gonna stop that grass
And give up all this drinking
Really gonna make my life last
Clean up my whole way of living

Up until the party last night
I was a different man
But old ways
Got their way again


Economy was getting so bad
I had to lay myself off
Well, working was a habit I had
So I kept showin' up anyway

Then one day things turned around
I got my back pay
Old ways
Comin' through again

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