CHANGES

I remember the heavy nights, when I was twenty.
Getting up next morning - a lousy job, yes I've had plenty.
The girls fourteen to sixteen, now they are married.
Meeting John Barleycorn every night it was no problem.
Smelling like a bum but the girls I've had have been top models
And if they're not, I used to think I believed they would be.

I know things will gonna change gonna change forever.
I know things will gonna change gonna change forever.

The bartenders in every club they all knew my name,
We shared white lines we shared the girls life's just a game.
We had whiskey in our coca-tins holes in our fucked up jeans
Don't dream your life, live your dream you see I did it.

I know things will gonna change gonna change forever.
I know things will gonna change gonna change forever.

I was looking rough feeling tough, wanted to change the world.
I put it in slowly ws feeling so holy, God knew I was alive.
We laid down the foundation stone for a dofferent world
For a better home.
But I'm feeling that I'm leaving soon the others are already there.

I know things will gonna change gonna change forever.
I know things will gonna change gonna change forever.

Then Herbie died in an accident, Mussi took an overdose.
Alex was killed by her father's hand, no way to understand.
Tony was blown and Johnny died I remember no one cried.
Over is over and over today, in memories I have to stay,
Over is over yesterday's gone, oh Lord what have we done wrong?
Now I'm staring at old photographs - when I was twenty !
