Song is about how I feel about how things are now and the way the used to be.

I'm just a 56 year old cement mixer driver who gets laid off every winter for 3 months.I enjoy writing songs and recording them myself at home on my 8 track Boss BR864 recorder.It's just another one of my many hobbies.I just do it for kicks.Just laid back musical enjoyment. I have lots of originals and collabs on my page.My originals are are true stories about me,or people I know,or how I feel about things.Collabs are all efforts of me and my Soundclick friends.Doing collabs is my favorite thing here on Soundclick.Hope ya enjoy some of the tunes.

Lyrics

(c)Laurel Varner 2004                   THINGS HAVE CHANGED

SITT’IN OUT UNDER MY SHADETREE
STARE’IN DOWN AT THE GRASS
THINK'IN ABOUT, HOW THINGS ARE NOW
REMINISSIN ABOUT THE PAST

TURN’IN 16 WAS EVERY YOUNG BOYS DREAM
AND HAV’IN YOUR OWN FIRST CAR
THE WAY IT LOOKED AND SOUNDED
SHOWED THE KIND OF GUY YOU ARE

2 DOOR HARDTOP WITH A 4 ON THE FLOOR
A LOT OF HORSES UNDER THE HOOD
CHROME TAILPIPES AND BABY MOONS
MEANT YOU WERE LOOK'IN GOOD

DICE HANG’IN OFF THE REAR VIEW MIRROR
AN EIGHT TRACK PLAY’IN THEM TUNES
CIGGARETTES ROLLLED UP IN YOUR SHIRTSLEEVE
AND THE SMELL  OF YOUR GIRLFRIENDS PERFUME

CHORUS)
NOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE WAY BACK THEN
CARS ALL LOOK THE SAME 
YOU CAN’T EVEN TELL WHAT KIND THEY ARE
UNLESS YOU READ THE NAME
THEY’VE GOT NO STYLE OR CLASS AT ALL
THEY’RE NO LONGER A PART OF YOU
THERE MOSTLY PLASTIC AND COMPUTERS
THAT’S WHY I’M FEEL’IN SO BLUE


USE TO BE WE’D GO TO THE DRIVE IN
OR TAKE OUR GIRLFRIEND OUT TO A DANCE
BEFORE YOU WENT HOME YOU’D GO PARK'IN
FOR A LITTLE NECK’IN AND OLD TIME ROMANCE

BUT MODERN TIME TECHNOLOGY
HAS CHANGED ALL THAT YOU SEE
NOW EVERYBODY JUST SITS AT HOME
ON THE INTERNET AND WATCH’IN TV

(CHORUS)

NOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE WAY BACK THEN
IT’S  NOT LIKE IT USED TO BE
ALL YOUR MOVIES AND ROMANCE
YOU GET AT HOME WATCH'IN TV
MOST PEOPLE ARE COUCH POTATOS
THERE HEAD FULL OF UNPURSUED DREAMS
ALL THERE PLANS ARE TOTALLY LOST
SITT’IN  IN FRONT OF THAT TV SCREEN

CAR HOPS AT THE DRIVE IN’S
YOU DON’T SEE MANY OF THEM
 SONIC DRIVE IN BROUGHT THEM BACK
SO I TIP MY HAT TO THEM

MINI SKIRTS AND PONY TAILS
RED LIPSTICK ON THERE LIPS
GIRLS BACK THEN WERE SEXY
AND THEY STILL ARE TO ME YET

(CHORUS)

NOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE WAY BACK THEN
BUT SOME THINGS I WONT FORGET
LIKE THE SOUND OF A SPLIT SIX CHEVY
OR THE LOOKS OF A SIXTY-TWO CORVETTE
IF I COULD TURN THE CLOCK BACK
I’D DO IT IN A FLASH
AND LIVE THOSE GOLDEN MEMORIES
AND FORGET THIS MODERN TRASH
AND LIVE THOSE GOLDEN MEMORIES
AND FORGET THIS MODERN TRASH
