Things Change

Things change, things change

Yeah, things change, things changeThings changed for her when you voted for Bush

Put on a bra, put away your tie dyes

Found religion, got born againThen let a man come between you and your friends

You swore it'd never happen but it did

'Cause things change, things changeThings changed for you when she got a nose ring

And suddenly thought she knew everything

As if how she looked made her, oh, so worldly wiseThe fact is you buy National Geographic, shes been to Africa

I kind of like that dress she brought back for me

'Cause the label says 'Fits one size'

But things change, things changeThings change, thats for sure

Only the best of friends will endure

Each other when things changeWell, things changed for me

When y'all didnt call when I lost my job

Then my dog died, he was diabetic

I didnt know it till he was goneThen both my folks were in the hospital

The same week, the week I buried my dog

And the only one who sent me a card

Was my gynecologist 'cause I missed my appointment

Things change, they sure do changeThings changed for all of us

Kids, work, health, money, this that and the other

I got so scared, I just wanted to shake under the covers

And wait in the dark with my fist drawn

Ready to slap life in the face and kick fate where it hurtsI searched all over my house for my favorite singer

Shes on an unmarked tape as if her voice could bring me peace

And as if I even had a cassette player that worked anymore

Theres no doubt about it, things changeThings change thats for sure

Only the best of friends will endure

Each other when things change

Things change, things change
