"Some People Change" lyrics - KENNY CHESNEY

His old man was a rebel yeller
Bad boy to the bone
He'd say, Can't trust a colored feller.
He'd judge them by the tone of their skin.

He was raised to think like his dad
Narrowminded, full of hate
On the road to nowhere fast
Till the grace of God got in the way.

Then he saw the light and hit his knees,
Cried and said a prayer
Rose up a brand new man
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.

She was born with her mother's habit
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 second chance
And everyone she's lettin' down
She throws that bottle down.

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.

Thank God for those who make it
Let them be the light.

Some people change
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.

Some people change.

Some people change...
