Gonna Be Some Changes Made - Bruce Hornsby

Man was a knife expert

Kind of a Jim Bowie type

Swaggerin', blusterin', 'coon skin

I said, «You're not serious, right?»

Then I saw him grab my friend by the hair

And I guess I should have prayed

As he dragged him around, I said to myself

«There's gonna be some changes made»

(Gonna be some changes made)

Girl I knew and loved alone

For years from afar

With a finger to her lips

She led me out to see the stars

She led me down to the gritty lake

And in it we did wade

She took my hand and put it there

Gonna be some changes made

(Gonna be)

Gonna be some changes made

Gonna be some changes made

(Gonna be some changes made)

Gonna be some changes, changes made

Can’t keep on doing what I’ve been doing these days

Look in the mirror I see a clown’s face

Gotta take it off, gotta get myself straight

Gonna be some changes, some changes made

Can’t keep on doing what I’ve been doing these days

Better figure out something

Things are looking grave

Gonna be some changes, changes, changes made

Up in front for all to see

Graceful like a bumblin' fool

Then I thought I felt slip from my mouth a little drool

Maybe no one noticed it

On my mind heavily it weighed

I saw two people snickering

I said, «There needs to be some changes made»

(Snickering)

Gonna be some, gonna be some changes made

(Snickerin')

(Gonna be)

Gonna be some changes made

Gonna be some changes made

Gonna be some changes, changes made

Can’t keep on doing what I’ve been doing these days

Look in the mirror I see a clown’s face

Some changes made

Going home, I’ve done enough

To sow my little name

Going where the fields are green

And I can do my macramé

A buffoon fumblin' without a clue

Who likes to shift the blame

And often feels betrayed

There’s gonna be some changes made

There’s gonna be some changes made

Gonna be some changes, changes made

Can’t keep on doing what I’ve been doing these days

Look in the mirror I see a clown’s face

Gotta take it off, gotta get myself straight

Gonna be some changes, changes made

Can’t keep on doing what I’ve been doing these days

Look in the mirror I see a clown’s face

Gotta take it off, gotta get myself straight

(Gonna be some changes made)

Gonna be some changes

Gonna be some changes

Doo doo doo doo
