Things Is Changin' Songtext

von Fred Eaglesmith

Things is changing
Not the same anymore
Things is changing
Not the way they was before when the wind would blow
And there was bound to be a storm
And now it's blowing in all directions
One things for sure
Things is changing

Pray for rain
Sat on the porch and watch it fall
But it doesn't really matter to anybody anymore
You buy your bread at the bakery
And your beer at the liquor store
And the preacher screams from the TV screen
Believe in the Lord
Things is changing
Things is changing

Can't get a job
Couldn't buy a job to save your life
So you go down to some kitchen
Just like 1935
You got a couple of children
And a tear-stained wife
And you ain't trying to get ahead
You're just trying to get by
Things is changing
Things is changing

I was drinking wine with a gal that I knew
It was a one-horse town
Nothing much to do
Across the street a greyhound coach
Pulled into the station
Next thing I know I'm looking down the road
And she's waving
Things is changing
Things is changing
Things is changing
