They wouldn't let him play the opry
  With whiskey on his breath
  And it didn't take'em long
  to figure out what they missed
  He went down that lost highway
  Underneath the purple sky
  A legend disappeared before his time
  Things Change
    They said he was the devil
  dressed in gold leme
  The way he shook his hips
  out there on that stage
  But before that faithful day
  He left Tennessee
  All of them were calling him the king
  Things Change
    Well they like to call them hippies
  outlaws with guitars
  But they brought a little poetry
  To the honky tonks and bars
  They might've got a little crazy
  They might have flew a little too high
  Somewhere somebody's playing their song tonight
  Things Change
  (Don't you know things change)
    Now some say it's too country
  Some say it's a little rock n roll
  But it's just good music
  If you can feel it in your soul
  It doesn't really matter
  It's always been the same
  life goes on
  Things Change
    [Bridge:]
  Don't you know they change
  Oh, things change
  As long as this world is turning
  Things are gonna change
  Gonna keep on changing
  Gonna change
