He had it all, top of his game
A humble hometown hero with his daddy's good name
But he lost it all when he found the vein
One high too many, and he flew away

Big city streets, little country towns
The Devil knows his way around
It's the same ol', same ol' different story
Time and time again, I heard it all before
Black, white, rich, or poor
It's the same ol', same ol' different story

'Round every corner, under the sun
Some lives keep goin', some come undone
Some face their demons that others can't outrun
That's somebody's daughter and somebody's son

Big city streets, little country towns
The Devil knows his way around
It's the same ol', same ol' different story
Time and time again, I heard it all before
Black, white, rich, or poor
It's the same ol', same ol' different story

Big city streets, little country towns
The Devil knows his way around
It's the same ol', same ol' different story
Time and time again, I heard it all before
Black, white, rich, or poor
It's the same ol', same ol' different story

It's the same ol', same ol' different story
