Montgomery Gentry - Some People Change Lyrics






His old man was a rebel yeller...
Bad boy to the bone.
He'd say: "Can't trust that other fella,"
He'd judge 'em by the tone of their skin.
He was raised to think like his Dad...
Narrow mind full of hate.
On the road to no-where fast,
Till the Grace of God got in the way.
Then he saw the Light an' hit his knees an' cried an' said a prayer...
Rose up a brand new man; left the old one right there.

Here's to the strong; thanks to the brave.
Don't give up hope... some people change.
Against all odds, against the grain,
Love finds a way... some people change.

She was born with her mother's habit...
You could say: "It's in her blood."
She hates that she's gotta have it...
As she fills her glass up.
An she'd love to kill that bottle,
But all she can think about,
Is a, a better life, a second chance,
An' everyone she's letting down.
She throws that bottle down.

Here's to the strong; thanks to the brave.
Don't give up hope... some people change.
Against all odds, against the grain,
Love finds a way... some people change.

Thank God for those who make it...
Let them be the Light.

(Let them be the light)
(Some people change.)
Here's to the strong; thanks to the brave.
Don't give up hope... some people change.
Against all odds, against the grain,
Love finds a way... some people change.
Some people change.

(Some people change)

Montgomery Gentry Some People Change Comments
  1. R.... K....

    Amen, Amen !

  2. J.... R....

    I left my old self behind after I died and seen heaven and my dead cuzin I no longer fight I walk away n I don't care if people call me a coward I don't believe in fighting anymore

  3. C.... M....

    This is how my brother chad is about people. I'm begging to be the same way in life and I'm 27 years. But you can't change everything or everyone. Or trust everything or everyone.

  4. r.... h....

    i goon to do or song

  5. Z.... T....

    Kinda defeats the purpose of the song, to have a guy burn a cross in the campfire, representing nazism

  6. J.... R....

    "Some people change. don't be racist." Let's do research. Columbia Records' parent company is Sony Music Entertainment. At the time they were partnered with BMG. Sony BMG's CEO was Rolf Schmidt-Holtz, who is jewish. Why isn't he worried about jewish supremacist in Israel? Why tell us how to live when his people aren't like this? Hypocrite.

  7. M.... S....

    "No man left behind" is what changed me I was wounded and could nt walk with rounds
    Hitting around me I felt someone pick me up and carry me to a evac. As he laid me down I saw it was a black man who saved me from bleeding out from the mangled stump that had been my leg. I never saw him again that was in 1969. My dark hateful soul was forever changed that day over the years I often wondered if he made it home.

  8. C.... M....

    My mind has always kept a walk of pushing people away so I don't get hurt. My whole life I've allowed people to hurt me now I'm threw allowing them too. I rather toon people out then let them hurt me. I don't need no dam body

  9. D.... J....

    I love this song. I found Recovery from alcohol on September 4th, 2017. Yes we do change! 2 years sober and going strong!!

    D.... J....

  62. s.... ....

    I've ALWAYS Loved this Song an Always LOVED Troy but LOVED the BIGGEST part on 2:10-2:11 that Part OMG just the way TROY turns it makes me feel like that there really is some GRAIN of Hope when even the Smallest of Hope in a Person CAN'T Change,sadly this song has always been for my Mother she's ALWAYS had mental problems short story she should've NEVER been a Mother but Luckily for Me & my Sister we didn't get Beaten only Mentally Abused and some people say that's a lot of times Worse than getting Beaten cause Kids want to be LOVED by their Mother's...But umm when we got Adulthood our Mother got into Harsher things into Drugs and now into Prison for either a 2nd or a 3rd time and sadly KEEPS Ratting on people so she won't be in there as long or my TWISTED Ass Aunt or Freaking ass Twin Sister KEEPS HELPING her ASS out.....A person isn't gonna learn a lot of times til they either LOSE everything or hit ROCK Bottom or almost DIE or well in my Mother's Case NEVER Learn and Sadly I believe its the Ladder Never Learn an I can't say that I can really care as much HELL she has put me an my Sister through without even Caring as a Mother an I have Asked GOD over an Over Forgiveness because I know he sees all an if you ask Forgiveness an Truly MEAN it he will GIVE it !!!

  63. B.... V....

    As an addict that has been sober for 14 years I find this song inspiring. Thank you for recording it. I wish more people believed that people can change.

  64. H.... D....

    Family is everything. People do change

  65. H.... D....

    My dad died my sister could never forget or forgive. She never thought people could change. I heard this on Thanksgiving. It fits us. Love you Nicole.

  66. c.... e....

    thanks God, I download bro !

  67. s.... ....

    People/Fan's THINK on this I LOVED TROY'S Music NOT much of a Fan of Eddie's I know without Eddie signing Troy to Join his Band they would've been NO Troy most Likely Sadly,but just Look it Up for 5 Minutes that is all I'm asking I believe Creepy and Weird things are Happening with are Music People & Hollywood Actors/Actresses but I believe its Awfully damn WEIRD that NOT even a Month Before Troy's "Suppose" DEATH that his Father Dies but you Can NOT find what he died of,its like he just Dropped of this Planet !! Does anyone know of Keith Gentry LOOK it UP there is a GOOD/GREAT Video on here YouTube and the Police/Law is Blaming the WIFE and as far as I know is STILL in Prison for his Death!!! Troy's Mother Died but you can find right online what she died of some kind of Cancer now all of his Family dieing!?!?! I believe they are Setting up Keith Gentry WIFE to take the FALL for the Murder because those "PEOPLE" Can NEVER be found out....I really don't CARE if you think I'm Crazy cause I have almost Solid Proof when Michael Jackson died I did a lot of Research cause I thought his DEATH was FUNNY and I'm in NO WAY of a Fan but I believe that gives NOBODY any damn RIGHT to go around Killing people for whatever REASON we have LAWS in the Great U.S.A for a Damn Reason !!! But anyways back to Jackson he said few days before his death he was on the phone talking to a Good Friend that he knew they were after him that he knew he was going to be "KILLED" well there is another Video this guy is in a Suit looks like an FBI don't know if he is heck kinda looked like undercover lol but he said right out in the open on VIDEOTAPE that there is a Group of People that Run the Music & Hollywood that when they want you DEAD you will be DEAD or well you better go HIDE pretty damn FAST,he claimed something about the Government having a Special Mission to "KILL" Jackson the Reason he was saying all of this on this Video Tape was I believe cause he couldn't Live with the Guilt anymore of being apart of something like that !! I only watched it once and wasn't completely through but he also claimed that his video might be taken down at any given time frame so I don't even know if its still up or not because its in my list....IF anyone would like to see the Guy claiming to be an FBI Agent let me know an I'll see if its on here for ya !!

  68. S.... D....

    amazing song....love it

  69. W.... H....

    This prof that country has change and not for the better.

  70. a.... s....

    Rip troy gentry

  71. S.... D....

    Troy Gentry, died on my birthday... 😭

  72. 7.... ....

    Truly inspirational.

  73. L.... K....

    I love this song.I wish it was true but it's not.

  74. U.... S....

    Wish America would listen to this song! Its not the Nation that needs to change for the People, its the Heart of the People that needs to change for the Nation! "When the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power, the World will know Peace!" -Jimi Hendrix

  75. J.... S....

    This song gives me hope for the world, and for those who need change

  76. K.... K....

    I like the song

  77. L.... L....

    It's hard to believe that 1 year ago we lost Troy Gentry your fans miss you T Roy.

  78. J.... Z....

    Proof that no hate is ever permanent

  79. t.... h....

    That's me I changed for the better!!!

  80. M.... G....

    As far as me personally, I'm a young person dealing with Autism, and it's songs like this that make me feel good about myself, even on my darkest days (of which I have more than plenty). But I know hope is out there somewhere, I guess I just need to continue searching.

  81. M.... G....

    WHY can't we have more uplifting stuff happen in real life? We need to change for the better. The hatred that this world is right now is just too much, and radical people should be locked away.

  82. J.... W....

    To those out who are struggling with anything you can change

  83. A.... 0....

    Damn. I love this song, it has such a great movement behind it, SOME PEOPLE CHANGE. Rip Troy, songs won’t be the same without you.

  84. S.... S....

    That song makes me feel better happy and emotional because my grandfather Roger Rose passed away 2 years ago and this My Grandfather John Starks passed away and I hope Kevin Harvick will win and do it for my grandfather

  85. E.... M....

    some people do change all they need is God in their hearts

  86. D.... L....

    Diese Gnade durfte ich auch erfahren, dass Harkenkreuz mit dem kostbaren Kreuz Jesu einzutauchen. GOTT RETTET...

  87. s.... r....

    Rest in Peace Troy

  88. E.... J....

    This guy in the video was me also, a white supremacist, now I'm telling people about Jesus. I'm not perfect I mess up but thank God for saving me.

  89. D.... A....

    Excellent song! This is country at its finest! Got holy Goosebumps when the choir came in

  90. R.... S....

  97. L.... ....

    I used to be a soulless nerd. Got off the medication and started making some friends. Started nursing school. Failing it. And starting a new study as gardener next year. Is it all hard? Yes. But there must be light at the end of it
