Same Old Story (Same Old Song)
by 
B.B. King 
recording of 1979 
from 
Take It Home (MCA 11770) 
One hand will take, one hand will give 
That's all we know and that is how we live 
One day hello, next day goodbye 
And everyone just stay high 
Same old story, same old song 
Goes all right till it goes all wrong 
Now you're going, then you're gone 
Same old story, same old song 
One builds you up, one tears you down 
To some you're a saint, to others you're a clown 
What can you do, just see it through 
And hold on to what is left to you 
Same old story, same old song 
Goes all right till it goes all wrong 
Now you're going, then you're gone 
Same old story, same old song
