Cover art for Cool Change lyrics by Little River Band

I think this song is about a man getting older and missing the carefree days of his youth. Maybe he lived in a coastal town or just spend a lot of time on the water. He thinks back to when he had no responsibilities, unlike now (Now that my life is so prearranged). There is a part of him that longs for those times, but we can't always go back.
