Same Old Song and Dance

Get yourself cooler, lay yourself low

Coincidental murder with nothing to show

When the judge, a constipation would go to his head

And his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead

It's the same old story

Same old song and dance, my friend

That's the same old story

Same old song and dance, my friend

Gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun

No smoothy-faced lawyer could get you undone

Say, love ain't the same on the south side of town

You could look, but you ain't gonna find it around

That's the same old story

Same old song and dance, my friend

That's the same old story, same old story

Same old song and dance

Fate comes a-knockin', doors start lockin'

Your old time connection, change your direction

You ain't gon' change it, can't rearrange it

Can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend

When you're low down and dirty from walkin' the street

With your old hurdy-gurdy, no one to meet

Say, love ain't the same on the south side of town

You could look, but you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story

Same old song and dance, my friend

That's the same old story, same old story

Same old song and dance, yeah
