Tom T. Hall - Way I’ve Always Been lyrics

I took your picture from the table
And now I'm finally alone
Took your number from my rolodex I might
Get weak and call your phone
I got my chainsaw from your brother I
Did all of this and then
There ain't nothing new about me I'm
Just the way I've always been
Stopped at Harry's for a cold beer
And Danny won the football pool
John Garcetti's back to drinking they caught
His kids with drugs at school
And everybody has their problems now
You're gone and mine begin
There ain't nothing new about me I'm
Just the way I've always been
I'm just the way I've always been I
Love you now I loved you then
Same old faults and same old friends I'm
Just the way I've always been

Your uncle called about my pickup he'd like
To use it for a day
I told him come ahead and get it
Cause I don't need it anyway
He doesn't know that you don't live here I
Guess I'll have to tell our friends
Cause there ain't nothing new about me I'm
Just the way I've always been
I'm just the way I've always been
