Verse 1 Same barstool, same old song Bartender knows what I’m on Neon buzzing, clock don’t move Guess I’m right back where I lose Verse 2 Said I’d quit this way of life Cut you loose and get it right But that door swings, I walk in Like I never said “amen" Chorus Yeah, old habits don’t just fade away They hang around like yesterday Every night I say I’m through Then I go and do what I do Pour it strong, let it burn Take my time, never learn Girl, I swore I’d be someone new But I’m still doing what I do Verse 3 Your goodbye still hits me hard Every corner of this bar Got your memory in that light Dancing with me every night Chorus Yeah, old habits don’t just fade away They hang around like yesterday Every night I say I’m through Then I go and do what I do Pour it strong, let it burn Take my time, never learn Girl, I swore I’d be someone new But I’m still doing what I do Bridge (spoken/sung) I keep thinking one of these nights… I’ll finally leave you behind… But it ain’t tonight Final Chorus (slight lift) Yeah, old habits don’t just fade away They dig in deep and they make you stay Every night I say I’m through Then I go and do what I do One more round, one more lie Tell myself it’s the last time Girl, I swore I’d be someone new But I’m still doing what I do
