Lyrics

And all the changes keep on changin'
And the good old days they say they're gone
And 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 screaming crazy crowd
Now there's just 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
And only wise men and some new born fools
Say that they know what's going 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 the only changes going on
Are just going on in me
There I was in your Air Force
Uncle Sam you owned my brain
I tried to see myself as a sex mad savior
Sailing 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 their 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 changin'
And the good old days you know they're gone
And only wise men and some new born fools
Say that they know what's going 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 the only changes going on
Are just going on in me
