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

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

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

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
