The Change
I wanna talk to you about the time of the year
We call it the fall
It's a time when you can feel the change comin'
Like sometimes late in the evening
You can feel a little brisk air
Nipping up at the back of your neck
Kinda makes you wanna hunch up your shoulders
Put your blue jeans jumper up around you

You can feel it in your bones
You know a change is gonna come
A little change never done nobody no harm

It's the time always makes me think about
Old hobos sittin' out around the campfires at night
Boilin' up some old coffee in an old tin can
Tryin' to keep warm
Whoo, listen to them

But it is also a time when I get a restless feeling
Makes me just wanna get on a freight train and ride somewhere
Like there is something somewhere saying
"Come see about me, check me out"

You can feel it in your bones
You know a change is gonna come
A little change never done nobody no harm

It's a time if you go out in the woods
You can see the turnin' of the leaves
And a kind of smells good to you
Yeah but it don't last long
B'fore you know it
Winter's come clampin' down on you
And there you are hoverin' in your coat
Tryin' to keep yourself warm

But it's a good time
It's a good thing
It's a change

You can feel it in your bones
You know a change is gonna come
A little change never done nobody no harm
