Changes

And all the changes keep on changing

And the good old days, they say they're gone

Only wise men and some new born fools

Say that they know what's going on

I was cramped into a coffee house pew

Two dollar coke in my hand

Listenin' to the music run

Through and out of a drowning man

Ten years ago I first heard him singin'

To a screamin' crazy crowd

Now there's thirteen loyal people

Tryin' to sound that loud

And I wonder as I watch him now

Why his songs don't turn me on

He got me into music

Where has the fragile magic gone?

And all the changes keep on changin'

And the good old days, they say they're gone

Only wise men and some new born fools

Say that they know what's goin' on

But I sometimes think the difference is

Just in how I think and see

And that the only changes goin' on

Are just goin' on in me

And that the only changes goin' on

Are just goin' on in me

There I was in you Air Force

Uncle Sam, you owned my brain

I tried to see myself as a sex mad savior

Sailin' on a silver plane

I started out to do my duty, ended up just doing time

What is it about you my mother of a country

Makes so many change our minds

You know you had me on your honor roll

For your dream, I would die

Now I would not even cross the street

To help you live a lie

And all the changes keep on changing

And the good old days, you know they're gone

Only wise men and some new born fools

Say that they know what's goin' on

But I sometimes think the difference is

Just in how I think and see

And that the only changes going on

Are just going on in me

And that the only changes going on

Are just going on in me
