Lyrics Bruce Hornsby

Bruce Hornsby

Gonna Be Some Changes Made

Gonna be some changes made

Gonna be, gonna be, gonna be some

Gonna be some changes made

Man was a knife expert

Kind of a Jim Bowie type

Swaggerin', blusterin', 'coon skin

I said, "You're not serious, right?"

Then I saw him grab my friend by the hair

Well I guess I should have prayed

As he dragged him around, I said to myself

"There's gonna be some changes made"

(Gonna be some changes made)

Girl I knew and loved alone

For years from afar

With a finger to her lips

She led me out to see the stars

She led me down to the gritty lake

And in it we did wade

She took my hand and put it there

Gonna be some changes made

(Gonna be)

Gonna be some changes made

Gonna be some changes made

There's gonna be some changes, changes made

Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days

Look in the mirror I see a clown's face

Gotta take it off, gotta get myself straight

(Changes made)

You're just our style, our kind of guy so pleased to have you

Now that you're here with us today

Can you play with this kazoo

I said well, alright, ok

As if I was afraid

I walked out in a daze, I said to myself

There's gonna be some changes made

(Changes made)

(Changes made)

Up in front for all to see

I'm graceful like a bumblin' fool

Then I thought I felt slip from my mouth a little drool

Maybe no one noticed it

On my mind heavily it weighed

I saw two people snickering

I said, "There needs to be some changes made"

(Snickering, snickering, snickering, snickering)

Changes made, gonna be some changes made

Gonna be some changes made

There's gonna be some changes, changes made

Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days

Look in the mirror I see a clown's face

Gotta take it off gotta get myself straight

Thought I'd go and read some books

Appear to be smart

Maybe love would come my way

As a patron of the arts

I tried spouting Shakespeare on a mid-summer night's shade

The girl just yawned and I walked on

Gonna be some changes made

Gonna be some changes made

Going home, I've done enough

To sow my little name

Going where the fields are green

And I can do my macramé

A buffoon fumblin' without a clue

Who likes to shift the blame

And often feels betrayed

There's gonna be some changes made

There's gonna be some changes made

Gonna be some changes, changes made

Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days

Look in the mirror I see a clown's face

Gotta take it off, gotta get myself straight

Gonna be some changes, changes made

Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days

Look in the mirror I see a clown's face

Gotta take it off, gotta get myself straight

(Yeah gotta get myself straight)

Gonna be some changes made

Doo doo doo doo
