Story behind the song
I LOVE being a songwriter when this happens! I can't be alone in being irritated by some of the crazy stuff we have to put up with these days.
Lyrics
SAME OLD, SAME OLD
Verse 1
I get to the bar, hop up on a stool
Been a long hot day, I need something cool
Stay long enough for a glass or three
Same old, same old me
Then I get home, she’s mad and then
It’s hot tongue, cold shoulder for supper again
And I get to thinking ‘Hey man it’s the worst’
She knows all about my drinking
But nothing ‘bout my thirst
Same old, same old matrimony
Verse 2
End of the day, I’m taking my rest
Sit on a bench, light a cigarette
Relaxing, enjoying my own company
Same old, same old me
Then a guy comes by, I see he’s one of those
Looks like a skunk got under his nose
He says my smoke’ll kill him
But I’m willing to bet
He’s a convert who’d kill for just one cigarette
Same old, same old sad PC
Verse 3
Out in my car, just riding around
Radio up and the window down
Nowhere particular I want to be
Same old, same old me
Then I hit the city and I stop dead
There’s a thousand lights and they’re all on red
Send in complaints but you’ll get nowhere with ‘em
A city official has a million shares in ‘em
Same old, same old democracy
Verse 4
It’s the same old world wherever you go
Them that have making it, the rest of us don’t
I guess that’s the way it’ll always be
Same old, same old me
If there’s a God in heaven, he can see
That a sense of humour’s a necessity
If the joke’s on me it ain’t over my head
I got tears of laughter running all down my leg
Same old, same old philosophy
Same old, same old me.
