Old Soldiers

Hal Ketchum

Compositor: David Mallett / Hal Ketchum

Old habits die hard and some wounds never heal
We got what we came for this is part of the deal
I can't forget you can't even try
Sometimes it seems like somebody died

Old soldiers die hard old hearts beat slow
Old friends go easy old lovers just go

Some fools never learn ain't that what they say
I turned for a moment and you turned away
You had your reasons God only knows
If it bothered you baby it never showed

Old soldiers die hard old hearts beat slow
Old friends go easy old lovers just go
Old soldiers die hard old heads hang low
Old friends go easy old lovers just go
[ piano ]
I keep telling myself that it's alright
But I know that later on tonight

Old soldiers die hard old hearts beat slow...
