Some Things Never Change

(album: Welcome To Countryland - 2021)

I like the shades you're wearing, and I like your new tattoo
I see you went and dyed your hair and got a new perfume

I should have known you'd be here
Dancing to a fiddle song
Kicking up dust and stirring up memories
Blurring lines 'tween right and wrong

But the chills and the thrills you're giving me won't last long
When the lights come up and the smoke clears you'll be gone
Like a lightning strike sheds light on falling rain
Some things never change

I feel there's still a sliver of my old love-worn soul
Tangled inside your heart that I lost long ago
'Cause longing don't seem to matter how many years go by
And you and me, we fit together, we don't even have to try

But the chills and the thrills you're giving me won't last long
When the lights come up and the smoke clears you'll be gone
Like a bonfire fades when it runs out of flames
Some things never change

Will the way you feel remain the same?
They say true love finds a way

No, the chills and the thrills you're giving me won't last long
When the lights come up and the smoke clears you'll be gone
And I'll be by myself as the sun shines on my shame
Some things never change
Some things never change
Some things never change
