Old Soldiers Lyrics

OLD SOLDIERS
Hal Ketchum and Dave Mallett

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

I keep telling myself that it's alright
But I know that later on tonight

Old soldiers cry 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
