"People Can Change" lyrics

He'd sneak some pills from his mama's drawer
Take a few, sell three or four
Everywhere he went, trouble fell like rain on him
It didn't take long till all them drugs
Turned into harder stuff
Ended up in an orange suit with his name on it
Till one day his cell mate handed him a Bible
Now he tells his testimony at every Sunday church revival

'Cause people can change
No matter who you are
Ain't no such thing as gone too far
It ain't too late, don't give up hope
You can hit them brakes and take a different road
Some folks will say you'll always be the same
But it ain't gotta be that way
'Cause people can change

She took a sip and called it freedom
But every drink led to more drinkin'
It was like that whiskey bottle had chains on her
Then late one night leavin' that bar
She lost control of her car and ended up down in a ditch with the blame on her

She realized she should've died but knew an angel saved her
Now shares her story at AA meetings
Sober five years later

'Cause people can change
No matter who you are
Ain't no such thing as gone too far
It ain't too late, don't give up hope
You can hit them brakes and take a different road
Some folks will say you'll always be the same
But it ain't gotta be that way
'Cause people can change

People can change
C'mon
It happens everyday
Take a look around
There's people gettin' lost
But there's still people gettin' found

'Cause people can change
No matter who you are
Ain't no such thing as gone too far
It ain't too late, don't give up hope
You can hit them brakes and take a different road
Some folks will say you'll always be the same
But it ain't gotta be that way
'Cause people can change

Yeah
People can change, oh
