My first show was at a dead end bar down on College Street    I was proud to play for nothing back when I was seventeen   I swore my dreams were over when I never played a second gig    Till I found out that the bar shut down for getting rich off of high school kids      A change never comes easy    A change never comes easy      Ten years have come and gone. Slipped out form under me    And now days I play my songs a long way from College Street   Everyday is a brand new place and sometimes I still play for free    It goes to show the good old days ain't as bad as they used to be      A change never comes easy    A change never comes easy      I guess I took it hard as anybody in my shoes   Live and learn hide the scars but don't let it get to you      A change never comes easy    A change never comes easy   A change never comes easy    A change never comes easy
