Everything Is Different Now Lyrics


I hate to tell you this but I'm very very happy
And I know that's not what you'd expect from me at all
I'm not the kind to smile and bow out gracefully
I always wanted to take it to the wallBut I found somebody with a heart as big as Texas
I found an angel with the golden wings
She saw me down here in the dark somehow
And everything is differentYeah, I miss the old crowd sometimes
And the wild, wild nights of running
You know, a starving soul can't live like that for longYou go around in circles
That just keep getting smaller
You wake up one mornin' and half your life is goneI got so tired of that, I got so lonely
I dropped down and I called out to Heaven
'Send me someone to love'And Heaven shot back
'You get the love that you allow'
And everything is different nowOh, and it's sweet to know
The wisdom that living brings
Since I got a telegram
From the God of simple thingsShe said 'I don't care what you do for a living'

'I don't care what kind of car you drive'
'All I want to know right now is what do you believe in''And what it means to you to be alive'
'Will you stand here in this fire with me?'
An' are you ready for another life?'So I bit that bullet and I took that vow
And everything is different now
Everything is different nowEverything is different now
Everything is different now
(Everything is different now)
...

Don Henley (born Donald Hugh Henley in Gilmer, Texas, USA on 22 July 1947) is drummer, singer, and songwriter with the band Eagles. Since the 80s he has had a successful solo career and has played a founding role in several causes.

In 1970, he moved to Los Angeles to record an album with his early band, Shiloh. Shiloh's album was produced by fellow Texan Kenny Rogers. Shortly thereafter, Henley met Glenn Frey. They both became members of Linda Ronstadt's backup band. Touring with her was the catalyst for forming the group. As a result, two months later they, along with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, became their own act, Eagles.

Henley's music is often social commentary. One of his more famous songs is "Dirty Laundry" (from his I Can't Stand Still album, released in 1982). Its origins date back to 1980, when Henley was put on probation for possession of a narcotic and fined for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The ensuing media circus and on-air pundits claiming that his career was over led to the writing of the song, which continues to be an indictment against the broadcast news media. Similarly, "Johhny Can't Read" (also from the Can't Stand Still album), continues to resound as a commentary on the educational system.
