Old Dog New Tricks
I bet you thought he crawled away defeated
You just let him go, he’s surely had enough
But with a lifetime left to go
You never really know who’s getting tough
And I bet you’ll say there doing it with mirrors
If not examine every body’s sleeve
But a promise you can keep
And a little digging deep is all we need
We’re gonna teach an old dog some new tricks
When we get through you’ll never be the same
We’re gonna teach an old dog some new tricks
Old familiar tune. But it’s a brand new game
For as long as I can remember
You kept telling me, you’d always be around
But here between the sheets, and on my favorite streets, there ain’t been a sound
I bet you played that stupid song
I bet you still can sing along
I bet there ain’t no reservations anymore
Because a little heart is where we always start
And you’ll come around.
We’re gonna teach an old dog some new tricks
When we get through you’ll never be the same
We’re gonna teach an old dog some new tricks
Old familiar tune. But it’s a brand new game
