Old Habits Sure Die Hard
Breaking Free: The Unyielding Struggle Against Past Vices
Lyrics
I sang in Sunday choir
I participated in singing during Sunday choir.
I sand in Sunday school
I participated in singing during Sunday school.
Lord I hated Sunday's and I hate to follow rules
I disliked Sundays and resisted following rules.
I used to sing for supper but stay right where you are
I used to sing for a meal but insisted on staying where I was.
Old Habits Sure Die Hard
Old habits are difficult to change.
Old Habits You know they Sure Die hard
Emphasizing the persistence and difficulty of breaking old habits.
I used to run with women
I used to have relationships with women.
I used to jog in place
I used to exercise by jogging in place.
Lord I loved those women
I loved women, especially those with pretty faces.
And I loves a pretty face
Expressing a fondness for physical appearance.
I played around forever
I engaged in casual relationships for an extended period.
In and Out of bars
I frequented bars and clubs, participating in a carefree lifestyle.
Old Habits Sure Die hard
Reiterating the difficulty of breaking old habits.
Old Habits Sure Die Hard
Emphasizing the persistence of old habits.
Let the music play and take us away now
Encouraging the enjoyment of music as an escape.
Let it spill and overflow
Allowing emotions to overflow through music.
This is all I know
Expressing a limited understanding or focus on music as a constant.
I used to read you stories
I used to read stories to you.
You'd sit upon my knee
You used to sit on my knee during storytime.
But woman you're much older
Highlighting the aging of a woman over time.
Than you used to be
Comparing the woman's current age to her past self.
I used to be your hero
I used to be your hero.
I used to be your star
I used to be your star or someone you admired.
Old Habits Sure Die Hard
Stressing the difficulty in changing ingrained behaviors.
Them Old Habits Sure Die Hard
Repeating the theme that old habits are hard to break.
