[Verse 1] Back before my arms were covered in all this ink
Before I lost their trust, before I learned how to drink
Back before I bought that pretty ring and slid it on her hand
It seems so long ago I can't quite understand

[Verse 2] How everything has changed
And nothing is the same
Couple hundred thousand miles
A few heart breaks I've arranged
But still I look back and say
Everything has changed

[Verse 3] Back when I was just a kid with a guitar and nothin' to lose
Writin' songs for a livin' was just some sort of muse
And back when everyone thought I didn't have nothin' to say
Little did we know my songs would be what they are today

[Verse 4] But oh how everything has changed
And nothing is the same
You'd have asked me five years ago where I'd be today
I promise my answer wouldn't be the same
I'd say everything has changed
Everything has changed
