Things Change

Tim McGraw

They wouldn't let him play the Opry 
With whiskey on his breath
And it didn't take 'em long 
To figure out what they missed 
He went down that lost highway
Underneath the purple sky 
A legend disappeared before his time 
Things change (change)

They said he was the devil
Dressed in gold lame
The way he shook his hips 
Up there on the stage 
But before that fateful day 
He left Tennessee 
All of them were calling him the king
Things change (things change)

Well, they like to call them hippies
Outlaws with guitars
But they brought a little poetry 
To the honky-tonks and bars 
They might've got a little too crazy 
They might have flew a little too high
But somewhere somebody's playing their song tonight
(Things change)
Don't you know things change
(Things change) yeah

Now some say it's too country 
Some say it's too rock n roll
But it's just good music 
If you can feel it in your soul 
And it doesn't really matter 
It's always been the same 
Life goes on 
Things change (things change)
Things change (things change)
Don't you know they change
(Things change) yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Things change) they can't keep me from change…
(Things change) things change
(Things change) 
Oh, keep on, keep on, keep on changin'
(Things change) cause things change
(Things change)
