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
