Way I've Always Been
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
[ dobro ]
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...
