I Can’t Change My Name
It wasn't a milestone for you baby
Wasn't a millstone around you neck
It wasn't a look across a crowded room
It wasn't a handshake or a kiss
Just this - Gentle gentle wind has changed
I can't change my name
I've been out- I've been out in the desert too long
Coat I'm wearing has become part of me
I can't change my name
I've been out- I've been out in the long grass and the wind
And I'm kinda getting used to the wilderness
I can't change it
Change the locks on the doors
While you're at it go
Go out and get your fortune told again
Change thе locks on the doors
While you're at it go
Go out changе your circle of friends
I can't change my name- I can't change it
It wasn't like we've been shot at baby
It wasn't an earthquake or a death
It wasn't a flood that ruined everything
It wasn't the reaper with the wrong address
Just a snake's hiss
Gentle gentle wind has changed
I can't change my name
I've been out- I've been out in the desert too long
And the coat I'm wearing has become part of me
I can't change my name
I've been out in the long grass and the wind
And I'm trying to get used to the wilderness
I can't change it
Change the locks on the doors
While you're at it go
Go out change your circle of friends
Change the locks on the doors
While you're at it go
Change your diet of drugs
I can't change my name
I can't change my name
I can't change my name
I can't change my name
No No I can't change my name No No
I can't change my name I can't change it
