[Verse 1: Mick Jagger]
I thought I shook myself free
You see, I bounce back quicker than most
But I'm half delirious, it's too mysterious
You walk through my walls like a ghost
And I take every day at a time
I'm proud as a lion in his lair
Now there's no denying it and no decrying it
You're all tangled up in my head

[Chorus: Mick Jagger, Mick Jagger & Sheryl Crow]
Old habits die hard
Old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard
Harder than November rain
Old habits die hard
Old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard
Hard enough to feel the pain

[Verse 2: Sheryl Crow, Mick Jagger & Sheryl Crow, Mick Jagger]
Oh, we haven't spoken in months
You see, I've been counting the days
I dream of such inanities, such insanities
I'm lost like a kid in a maze
Oh, but I've never taken your calls
You see, I put a block on my phone
I act like an addict, I just got to have it
I never can leave it alone, yeah
[Chorus: Mick Jagger & Sheryl Crow, Mick Jagger]
Old habits die hard
Old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard
And harder than November rain
Old habits die hard
Old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard
Hard enough to feel the pain

[Post-Chorus: Mick Jagger]
Mm, mm
Mm

[Bridge: Mick Jagger, Mick Jagger & Sheryl Crow]
And I can't give you up
Can't leave you alone
And it's so hard, so hard
And it's hard enough to feel the pain

[Chorus: Sheryl Crow, Mick Jagger, Mick Jagger & Sheryl Crow]
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
And harder than November rain
Old habits die hard
Mm, old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard
And hard enough to feel the pain
[Outro: Mick Jagger]
Mm
Old habits die hard, yeah
Ooh, old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard
