Lately I've been taking stock of things
Seeing what the cat drags in
Throttle down on the suffering
To let more good climb in
Over the years you stop a-wondering
Done things for far too long
You know you better be a-changing
But the timing's always wrong
Old habits
Yeah the ones that gonna save ya
Are the ones that gonna let you down
Old habits
Yeah you think you got 'em handled
But I think you oughta look around
I used to love a funny cigarette
Still do from time to time
Find me loose-lipped and rambling
A-letting go my mind
Never saw it as a problem
To Cheech out and loosen up
Somehow I reached the next level
I get high without that stuff
Old habits
Yeah the ones that gonna save ya
Are the ones that gonna let you down
Old habits
Yeah you think you got 'em handled
But I think you oughta look around
I'd often pin it on intensity
That I was a lonely fool
A little too headstrong to follow
A little social rule
Ever since I started listening
I hear what other people say
I'm drawing more out of living
For stepping out of my own way
