Changes In My Mind (feat. Jerry Douglas)

John Hiatt


I'm sleeping in a fog and I'm driving a dirty car
Through the nightmares in my mind
I'm hitting all the puzzle pieces
Of the lifetimes you and I have left behind

It's not like I'm goin' somewhere
Tracking back cross burned out bridges
To become the man I thought I'd be
For you and me

I wake up as it clears and I feel to hold you near
And in your heart I find
Changes in my mind
Changes in my mind

If I could not break from all these thoughts that I mistake
For things I ought to do
Shoot my mouth off, break the levee
Sink down twenty thousand leagues into a sea black blue

'Cause everybody knows that I'm a fool
But your the only one who knows me better
Better to know that better's all we get
Baby, you bet

And as I disappear and I feel to hold you near
It's in your heart I find
Changes in my mind
Changes in my mind

Like a cloud that gets away on one boys endless summer day
Well, that's how I think of you
As I journey out cross hill and dale
But it's too late cause all the while you've disappeared view

And in my dream the Moon comes up
As darkness draws across the valley
Like someone's taking x- rays of my heart
The broken part

Then morning comes so clear
And as I feel to hold you near
It's in your heart I find
Changes in my mind
Changes in my mind

Then morning comes so clear
And as I feel to hold you near
It's in your heart I find
Changes in my mind
Changes in my mind
