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
