Lyrics:
(G. Bonds, L. Anderson) Bonds Anderson Music (Bmi) [Verse 1] You gotta get up pretty early in the morning, baby If you think you can just up and out-Slick me 'cause I've been fooled by the best Bs'ed by the rest I've tried everything there is in life from a to Z I've dined with friends in high places Slept with girls of all races Gotten down with the brothers in the bowery And they all taught me one thing There's no such thing as a sure thing Life as we know it, has no guarantees Turnaround: I've been in the battles Taken my licks Had lots of parties Had all the kicks I'm not often well But, I ain't never been sick [Chorus] So, you can't teach an old dog new tricks Can't teach an old dog new tricks [Verse 2] People talk and make promises 'bout this and that But action's the only thing that excites me All those promises they're making I'd be crazy if I take 'em I keep them stored up in my memory I'm just living in a world where society And what people say and do No longer interest me I'm just living out my days Set in my ways Living for my friends and my family Turnaround: Well, I've lived in the city But, I ain't what you call slick Grew up in the country But, don't call me no hick I've been through the thin And I've been through the thick [Chorus] So, you can't teach an old dog new tricks Can't teach an old dog new tricks *Solo Turnaround: Well, I've been in the battles Taken my licks Had lots of parties Had all the kicks I'm not often well But, I ain't never been sick [Chorus] No, you can't teach an old dog new tricks Can't teach an old dog new tricks Breakdown: Seems like everybody knows how things should be They've all got their stories they can't wait to tell I've got my own way of being who I wanna be I can't live my life for no one else I keep my mind wide open To what you gotta say I ain't always right But, I know when you're wrong 'cause I've been doing this too doggone long You can sing it if you wanna But, it's still my doggone song Tag on out: No, you can't teach an old dog new tricks Can't teach an old dog new tricks
