Some People Change Lyrics
Bad boy to the bone
He’d say can’t trust a colored feller
And he’d judge them by the tone of their skin
Narrow mind and full of hate
On the road to nowhere fast
Til the grace of God got in the way
Then he saw the light and hit his knees
And cried and said a prayer
He rose up a brand new man
And left the old one right there
Here’s to the strong
Thanks to the brave
Don’t give up hope
Some people change
Against all odds
Against the grain
Love finds a way
Some people change
Guess you could say it’s in her blood
She hates it that she’s gotta have it
She fills her glass up
She’d love to kill that bottle
But all she could think about is a better life, a 2nd chance
And everyone she’s letting down
She throws that bottle down
Let them be the light
Some people change
I agree with y'all. This song really has the power to touch anybody who hears it and wants to listen. Especially because there's some sort of negative connotation with blacks and country, thinking that it's racist and only for whites. This song is truly inspirational. I love Kenny (but not in a gay sort of way, haha) :)
I love this song. it reminds of a friend who was about to kill herself. she basically had nothing left, she felt like no one loved her, but then she relized that i love her. my love gave her a new begining and started to chage and found god.
People are fools who think the remade version of this song by Montgomery Gentry is better than the Kenny version. Long Live KC.
This is more and more becoming my favorite songg, not because I have an alcoholic in the family, or a closemined, but with the chorus mainly. It really speaks to me about life and love and well, I'm in such a bad spot right now with love, this song actually makes me cry.
yeah, this song made me cry too. one of my best friends broke my heart the other day. not in the traditional sense. but see i'm Christian, i was talking to him about religion, and he told me about how he thinks that Christianity is false hope, and he's hostile towards God, and how he's so far from joining any faith. My heart ached for him, and i cried when we were talking about it. then a few days later, I heard this song (kudos to kenny chesney, i always loved him!) and i started crying again. This song reminds me not to ever give up hope, i love it!
i love kenny more than the next person, but I do believe this is one of those songs that sounds like there's more emotion coming from Montgomery Gentry. that's just how it is
lol, come on guys...this is called songmeanings, not mymusicisbetterthanyourmusic.com! "red is my favorite color" "yuck! red sucks! blue is better!" --This will get us nowhere. Thank goodness we are all different human beings, so we all express ourselves differently, therefore just agree to disagree,:) And can all find different meanings in a song, hence this site. :D
If "some people change" is a great truth in life (it is), then so is "people like what they like". And it's ok.
I adore this song--one of my all-time favorites I never tire of, shear brilliance. It had meant differnt things to me at differnt times, but always hope. Hope when I see someone being unfair/unkind, even to me, not to hate back, but see who they could be someday, or hope for myself when it feels like everything I've done has gone wrong, like now. Someday even I could change.
rocker's comment inspired me, thanks. I wish when I was down, I had had a friend like you.
"Thank God for those who make it Let them be the light Some people change"
This part is a beautiful reminder to use your strength and courage to pull others up, not put them down or see yourself as superior.
Well angus I do like the Montgomery Gentry version better. I mean Kenny Chensney is one of the most amazing artists ever, but this doesn't sound like something he would really relate to. When Montgomery Gentry sing it you hear so much more emotion.
learn this shit. nobody can show more emotion in a song than kenny. especially Montgomery gentry. and how do you know what he does and doesn't relate to? what'd i tell you people? fools.
