You say the city has changed and maybe it's true You say everything moves too fast down the avenue You say you just don't get that thrill, tea for two You say the city has changed, well maybe it's you You been east side, west side up and down, all around the town Stomped through your old stomping grounds, cracked open your old crown You say the sidewalks are made of concrete, 'stead of mountain dew You say the city has changed, well maybe it's you You say the city has changed, well maybe it's you

You say the city has changed, well maybe it's you You say the city has changed, well maybe it's you You say the city has changed, well maybe it's you
