"Things That Never Change" lyrics

I swear, it's like a time machine
Like stepping right back to '73
Something out of some old movie scene
Our heroes just hanging around
A lot of love found on this old dance floor
It's a shame it ain't busy as it was before
New money moved in next door
And they're talking 'bout tearing it down

If you ask me, it's a helluva sight
Like a middle finger in the air
Next to that big ole high rise
Still hanging on strong enough to stay the same
Amen to things that never change

Melodies are gonna come and go
Up on a stage or on a radio
Word by word, note by note
And just fade into the night
But those old classic jukebox songs
Are gonna stay right there where they belong
And even though time keeps marching on
They're still the soundtrack of our lives

Blue Eyes Cryin' and Sweet Caroline
Yeah, the ones you sing along to
That ain't ever going out of style
Still hanging on strong enough to stay the same
Amen to things that never change

If you need us, we'll be out here on the road
Just like we've always been
'Bout to play us another show
Still hanging on strong enough to stay the same
Amen to things that never change
Yeah, amen to things that never change
