The Same Old Blues

You can drink a toast at midnight
To a year that's past and gone
But come tomorrow morning
You'll sing an old familiar song
And its the same old blues
Yeah, it's the same old blues
It's the same old blues
We've been singing since the world began

You can make a resolution
Swear you'll change your ways
Set your eyes on new horizons
But one thing is here to stay
And it's the same old blues
It's the same old blues
(Repeat x1)
We've been singing since the world began

You might try to change the lyrics
Do your best to make them rhyme
Reinvent the melody
Play it in and out of time
But it's the same old blues
It's the same old blues
(Repeat x1)
We've been singing since the world began

You can look inside for meaning
Read the writing on the wall
Try to find some peace of mind
But the only sense at all
Is in the same old blues
Yeah, in the same old blues
It's the same old blues
We've been singing since the world began

On angel harps up in heaven
Pitchfork banjos down in hell
Either way, the tune they'll play
Is one that you'll know well
And it's the same old blues
Yeah, it's the same old blues
It's the same old blues
We've been singing since the world began
