Stays the Same
IntroWell, ain't it funny how everything can change
And yet it all still stays the same
VerseWell, I used to buy my weed from Jimmy Green
Now he's preaching in Big Spring
And I heard old man Crual sold out
Bought him a two-bedroom downtown
And he still tells kids go to hell
Glad to hear he's doin' well
ChorusNot much has changed in this one-light town
Except the names of the kids tryin' to burn it down
Few less people puttin' miles on Main
No one around here remembers my name
Ain't it funny how everything can change
And yet it all still stays the same
VerseI used to make my way to the old Quick Stop
I was eighteen goin' on twenty-three
But she damn fell for my brother's I.D.
Now she laughs when she serves to me
ChorusNot much has changed in this one-light town
Except the names of the kids tryin' to burn it down
Few less people puttin' miles on Main
No one around here remembers my name
Ain't it funny how everything can change
And yet it all still stays the same
BridgeWe all say we're gonna leave
But no one ever truly does
'Cause that's who we are
And that's how we grew up
Here's to always feelin' stuck
ChorusNot much has changed in this one-light town
Except the names of the kids tryin' to burn it down
Few less people puttin' miles on Main
No one around here remembers my name
Ain't it funny how everything can change
And yet it all still stays the same
Outro(Spoken) Dude, did you really buy weed from a preacher?
