Old Habits - Joey Greer

You've been drinking red wine like it's water Cocaine makes it hard for me to sleep We should meet somewhere in the middle Get some solid ground beneath our feet Know if I leave That I'll return I could never give you up Old habits die hard Used to happy life conversation Without the use of mind-altering drugs Ran out of things to say or lost the patience That don't mean that we fell out of love I know if you leave That you'll return And you could never give me up 'Cause old habits die hard Dreams are sold without a lifetime guarantee With the best of intentions I can't lie, put my heart upon my sleeve I know if I leave That I'll return And I could never give you up 'Cause old habits die hard

I kicked the habit of smoking back some time ago And I tried the hard stuff, but I had to let all that go But the toughest thing I ever gave up was today 'Cause old habits like you are hard to break I use Life Savers to help me get off cigarettes But you know for your love, I ain't found no Life Savers yet And I've gone cold turkey 'cause there's not even on kiss a day And old habits like you are hard to break Old habits like you are hard to break Love with someone new is so hard to make I had grown so used to you, your love and all of your ways And old habits like you are hard to break

Shame on me, slap on my wrist At your door and I'm not proud of it Yesterday I said, "I'm done" I swung back just like a pendulum (Ha-ha) Ooh, and the sugar turned bitter Ooh, and the summer turned to winter But I still want your love (want your love, ha-ha) Ooh, they can tell me I'm a sinner Ooh, but they can't call me a quitter I won't give you up Old habits die hard Every time I say goodbye I find a way to justify running to your arms Old habits die hard You know that I wanna change I wanna correct my brain You can't help who you are Old habits die (hard) Made a promise, made a pact With my fingers crossed behind my back Like a creature you set free I'll crawl back to you eventually (Ha-ha) Ooh, and the sugar turned bitter Ooh, and the summer turned to winter But I still want your love (want your love, ha-ha) Ooh, they can tell me I'm a sinner Ooh, but they can't call me a quitter I won't give you up Old habits die hard Every time I say goodbye I find a way to justify running to your arms Old habits die hard You know that I wanna change I wanna correct my brain You can't help who you are Old habits die One more time, wanna fade away Too far gone to come back today Old habits die One more time, wanna fade away Too far gone to come back today Even though they tell me I'd be better alone You're in my muscle memory and you're in my bones A world without you is a world I don't wanna know Old habits die hard Every time I say goodbye I find a way to justify running to your arms Old habits die hard You know that I wanna change I wanna correct my brain You can't help who you are Old habits die One more time, wanna fade away Too far gone to come back today One more time, wanna fade away Too far gone to come back today

I'm not the only one I'm not the only one I know what your thinking Honestly, your carefree Life on weekends is starting to tear us apart Honestly, why can't we Leave the nightlife for the lonely And spend your evening right beside me And when the drinks go down too fast You slow down baby It's time to come clean [Chorus] I'm not the only one I'm not the only one (I know what your thinking, I know what your thinking, I know what your thinking now) I'm not the only one I'm not the only one (I know what your thinking, I know what your thinking, I know what your thinking now Honestly, think clearly when conscious Feels unconscious And black and white perspective Turns to gray Honestly, sleep soundly but while you Fall asleep I'm leaving So enjoy all the things you're dreaming And when the drinks go down too fast You slow down baby It's time to come clean [Chorus] You hate what you don't know It's just a matter of time for you [Chorus]

I'm beside myself Frozen in regret Convinced myself that the past is not dead A pity party for one I'm quickly coming undone But can you blame me for getting in the way I'm taking no blame I'm tearing the pages Poor old me I'll fake for display Forever complacent Always getting in the way I've displaced my head 'Cause I won't accept I've gone and left the present for dead A pity party for one I'm quickly coming undone But can you blame me for getting in the way But can you blame me I'm taking no blame I'm tearing the pages Poor old me I'll fake for display Forever complacent Always getting in the way Poor old me Always getting in Don't blame me Poor old me Always getting in the way I'll never blame me I'm taking no blame I'm tearing the pages Poor old me I'll fake for display Forever complacent Always getting in the way Poor old me Always getting in the way I'll never blame me

Trying to get me to stop Oh, I try but I can't Dying to hear you just talk Oh, I'd die just to hear you again Over and over I'm pushing these boulders up walls Shorter and shorter, these days make me older I can't complain, I can't refrain I've got two hands and my wrists And today they'll create One million paper-made birds That will fly but will break Colder and colder, you give me that shoulder again No rhyme or no reason explains all the treason you left me with It's on your lips Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I've turned my hands into fists So today I can break One million paper-made birds That will fly, not today Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I lost my mind out on the border of old mexico Found me a pretty little senorita told her baby let's go Climb on in my truck and roll on down the road She looked me dead in the eyes, said okay vaminos Then she sang, ven aqui, ven aqui mi amor Da me tu vida por favor Let's get outta here now Come on babe Go on pack your bags for a mexican getaway I thought there for a second, I was in control But senorita had chains on my heart and soul All that was in my mind was gettin ready roll With them dark brown eyes, she done caught her a gringo Then she sang, ven aqui, ven aqui mi amor Da me tu vida por favor Let's get outta here now Come on babe Go on pack your bags for a mexican getaway By the time that truck was packed I went back inside When I came back out, I couldnt believe my eyes My old chevy truck was no where to be found Just a bunch of Texas dust kickin up off the ground Then she sang, ven aqui, ven aqui mi amor Da me tu vida por favor Let's get outta here now Come on babe Go on pack your bags for a mexican getaway
