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



They said he was the devil

dressed in gold leme

The way he shook his hips

out there on that stage

But before that faithful day

He left Tennessee

All of them were calling him the king

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 crazy

They might have flew a little too high

Somewhere somebody's playing their song tonight

Things Change

(Don't you know things change)



Now some say it's too country

Some say it's a little rock n roll

But it's just good music

If you can feel it in your soul

It doesn't really matter

It's always been the same

life goes on

Things Change



[Bridge:]

Don't you know they change

Oh, things change

As long as this world is turning

Things are gonna change

Gonna keep on changing

Gonna change
