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 can't

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.
