Lyrics

Change is Good
By Mike Lewis


{Intro}

{Verse 1a:}
My boy came up and asked me
Daddy where did your Jeep go?
Well it was time for a trade
And in the deal that I made
Gotta truck and had to let her go.

{Verse 1b:}
Why are Grams and Bud movin?
And where are they gonna go?
Said they bought a great place
To make their own new space
It?s better than you think you know.

{Chorus:}
(I tell ya)
Change is good
Have things you never thought you would
Tho all of our days
Disappear in a haze
(I?m tellin? ya)
Change is good.


{Verse 2a:}
Grandma came up and told me
My how those kids do grow.
As the time flies by,
It makes me wanna cry
They?ll be grown before we even know

{Verse 2b:}
And why did you take that new job
Why can?t you just let it be?
Well it was time for some new,
Something I wanna do
A challenge for the pro in me.

{Chorus.}

{Solo Verse.}

{Verse 3a:}
I looked in the mirror and saw me.
Said where did all my hair go?
Well, my temples are gray,
At least I?m feelin? okay
For all those years what can I show?

{Verse 3b:}
I?ve got a wife and family that loves me
A life that just can?t be beat.

Well, I?m twenty no more,
But just to even the score
(I say) This gig has really turned out sweet.

{Chorus.} {Repeat Chorus.} {Out.)
