Same Old Song and Dance

[Verse 1]
Get yourself a cooler, lay yourself low
Coincidental murder, with nothing to show
With the judge, constipation will go to his head
And his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead

[Chorus]
That'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

[Verse 2]
Gotcha with the cocaine, found with your gun
No smooth-face lawyer to get you undone
I say love ain't the same on the south side of town
Till you look, but you ain't gonna find it around

[Chorus]
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, oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Fate comes a-knocking, doors start locking
Your old time connection, change your direction
Ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When you're low down and dirty from walking the street
Got your old hurdy-gurdy with no one to meet
Say love ain't the same, on the south side of town
Till you look, but you ain't gonna find it around

[Chorus]
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, ow

Whoo
Yeah, ow
Same old story, song and dance, ow
