The Change - Tony Joe White

I wanna talk to you about

The time of the year, we call it the fall

It’s a time when you can feel a change coming

Like sometimes late in the evening

You can feel a little brisk air

Nipping at the back of your neck

Kind of make you wanna scrunch up your shoulders

And put a blue jeans jumper up around you

You can feel it in your bones

You know a change is gonna come

A litte change never done nobody no harm

It’s the time always makes me think about

Old Hobo’s sitting out around the camp fires at night fall

And some more coffee in an old tin can

Trying to keep warm, listen to them

But it is also a time when I get a restless feeling

Makes me wanna just get on a freight train

And ride somewhere like there is something somewhere

Saying, come see about me and check me out

You can feel it in your bones, oh yes, you can

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 turning of the leaves

And a kind of smells good to you, yeah

But it don’t last long

For you know it, winter’s come, clamping down on you

And you are hovering in your coat

Trying 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
