That Same Old Song

Hey Mister Sorrow
you've been walkin' along my way
you are the cloud line
on that cold and rainy day
seems I've been walking on this road far too long
and lately I'm singin' that same old song

hey Mister Sunshine
you've been hiding from me I see
I have been blinded by a love that's slipped from me
and this crutch that I've been leanin' on
well it's old and it ain't so strong
and lately I'm singing that same old song

same old song, same old song
yeah it's the same, same old song
lately I'm singin' that same old song

hey Mister Dreamer
you've flown far too high this time
I can not reach you
just as hard Lord as I try
I've been forsaken to a life so far, gone wrong
when you hear me I'm singing that same old song

hey Mister Jesus
won't you look down on this man?
I have been prayin' just as hard Lord as I can
trying to reach you just to help me to get along
and keep me from singin' that same old song

same old song same old song
yeah it's the same, same old song
lately I'm singin' that same old song
lately I'm singin', lately I'm singin', lately I'm singing
that same old song
