Same old habits from a die hard man In the human race he was an also ran The glass is empty cos he drank the lot He won't pretend he's something he is not If you'd seen what he's seen If you'd worn his shoes You would still be singing him the blues Tells you stories and he feeds you lines Cheers you up and helps you pass the time Buys a round in when you want a drink Tells a joke and then he gives a wink If you'd seen what he's seen If you'd worn his shoes You would still be singing him the blues Same old habits from a die hard man In the human race he was an also ran The glass is empty living in the past Is not the glass but it's the man that's smashed If you'd seen what he's seen If you'd worn his shoes You would still be singing him the blues If you'd seen what he's seen If you'd worn his shoes You would still be singing him the blues If you'd seen what he's seen If you'd worn his shoes You would still be singing him the blues
