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

Underneith that purple sky

A legend disappeared before

his time

Things 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



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've flown a little too high

But somewhere somebody's playing their songs tonight

Don't you know they change



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

Don't you know they change

yeah, yeah yeah

They can't keep me from change

Keep on, keep on Changin
