Grew up in this town and I'm coming back home 
My suitcase is ragged and frayed
Some lives are boarded over, but the horses still eat clover 
Not that much has changed

The skies seem a little bluer, and the tracks look a little newer 
And the water tower has more names 
The ruts are a little deeper, the gullies a little steeper 
Not that much has changed 

Not that much has changed, it's all just rearranged 
Like a picture in your mind of a heart you left behind
Not that much has changed 

The grass is a little drier, the trees are a little higher 
But the dust still blows on the range 
The schoolyard seems smaller, the church steeple seems taller 
Not that much has changed 
Old friends have gotten older, some seem a little colder 
The friends they once had ain't the same 
But the drugstore's still for sale, as is cotton by the bale 
Not that much has changed 

Not that much has changed, it's all just rearranged 
Like a picture in your mind of a love you left behind 
Not that much has changed 

When I left she said she'd be, waitin' here for me 
She said I've got no need to explain 
But our old car is gone, just the weeds in her lawn 
Not that much has changed 
I think about the war and the price we had to pay
And the lives that'll never be the same 
And why for all these years, no answers have appeared 
Why not that much has changed 

Not that much has changed, it's all just rearranged 
Like a picture in your mind of a world you left behind 
Not that much has changed 
Like a picture in your mind of a war you left behind 
Not that much has changed
