kenny chesney - some people change lyrics

his old man was a rebel yellin' that boy to the bone.
he'd say 'can t trust a colored feller,'
he'd judge 'em by the tone of their skin.
he was raised to think like his dad
narrow mind full of hate,
on the road to no where fast,
'till the grace of god got in the way.
then he saw the light and hit his knees and cried and said a prayer,
rose up a brand new man and left the old one right there.

[chorus]:
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 that glass up.
she'd love to kill that bottle,
but all she can think about is a better life,
a second chance for everyone she s letting down,
she throws that bottle down.

[chorus]

thank god for those who make it
let them be the light...

some people change..

[chorus]

some people change
some people change...
