Things Change

See that house painted white looking all brand new
I bet you don't know that underneath it's wearing powder blue
And those flowers that line the drive were my grandma's pride and joy

This four lane road I'm driving on used to be just one
They bought my mom and daddy out when the vote for progress won
And where my front yard used to be is just a stop for gasoline

Things change
You can try to slow it down
But you can't
Cause this crazy world only spins one way
I swear the only thing that always stays the same
Is things change

My best friend since we were kids has got a baby of her own
And says she's starting kindergarten where we used to go
Growing up goes by too quick, never really did sink in
I didn't think that I'd admit that what my momma said's making sense

Things change
You can try to slow it down
But you can't
Cause this crazy world only spins one way
I swear the only thing that always stays the same
Oh things change

Always rushing to get older it's the last thing that I want
I was hell bent on leaving, now I'm dying to go home
It feels like time is flying when it used to drag on

Things change
I've tried to slow it down
But I cant
Cause this crazy world it only spins one way
I swear the only thing that always stays the same
Is things change
Oh things change
