lyrics

Change

Change don’t come too easy around here
All the streets are paved with broken good intentions
All the signs are pointing up all the stairs are leading down
And the soul embracing cowboy fills his pocket of pretensions
Oh change don’t come too easy around here

Change don’t come too easy around here
Every former boy knows something’s got to give
When the orders of the day command the silence of the night
Where in heavens name is someone with a heart supposed to live
Oh change don’t come too easy around here

Change don’t come too easy around here
Once they’re on to you, you haven’t got a chance
Then the price of what you seek becomes the cost of what you’ve found
And the years will come and go before tomorrow takes a stance
Oh change don’t come too easy around here

Change don’t come too easy around here
There’s a crooked one in every lot you cast
Now the light up in the tower tells the dreamers to go home
As the once upon a time man sweeps the dust out of the past
Oh change don’t come too easy around here

Change don’t come too easy around here
The Holy Father says it’s time for us to quit
So lay your head upon the pillow, put your cares outside the door
And pray that no one runs off when the story doesn’t fit
change don’t come too easy around here
change don’t come too easy around here
