He Won't Change


Same wind blowing stronger,
Weather vane spins tight,
Something breaks but it won’t break off,
Slaps on the roof all night.
Her old man told him,
White and black,
“Change direction, she’s not for you,
You’re on the wrong track.”

He won’t change, he won’t change,
No way, that boy, no way, he won’t change.

Old man told her, “I don’t like him seeing you,
I know his family, it goes way back,
This is nothing new.

He won’t change, the boy won’t change,
That boy, no way, no way, he won’t change."

She said, “You don’t know what you’re talking about.
The past is over, it’s all in your head.
You can write us off or help us climb out,
Cause that boy loves me and like you said:

He won’t change, the boy won’t change,
That boy, no way, no way, he won’t change."

Pulled off the Menchaca Highway,
Drove up Townsley Hill,
Headlights flashed on the tree trunks,
The night seemed to have its own will.
Under the starlight
They talked about her dad:
“I know your old man hates me,
Thinks I’m nothing, nothing but bad.
I don’t know why his generation
Has to mess with our conversation,
I can’t change their point of view,
But what’s the difference –
I’m in love with you.

I won’t change, I won’t change,
No way, this boy, no way, I won’t change,
I won’t change.”
