Wish I'd been born on a Georgia farm

Wish I'd never seen the city's harm

Wish I'd been sown like an innocent seed

Stranded in the country 'stead of on the street

Sooner or later the cast will change



Watched my face as it turned to stone

Thinkin' things be better if I went back home

My friends ain't different, it's me that's changed

To wait so long and feel so strange

Sooner or later the cast will change



Some may come and some may go

Nothing lasts forever don't you know

I've been waitin' such a long, long, long time

Had a lotta people try to break my stride

Sooner or later the cast will change
