Can't Teach an Old Dog New Tricks
Gary U.S. Bonds

(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
