I said, 'I know a shrimp boat captain out of Galveston'
And I've been thinkin', I'd go down and work a spell
Oh, you never can tell, it might suit me fine
Spend some time out on the bay

But then there's always cowboy work in Colorado
And I was thinkin' that, that just might be the thing
Make a little pocket change, figure what the heck
Ain't nothin' standin' in my way

But then she smiled at me, looked a while at me

And that changes everything, well, that's a whole 'nother deal
Puts a brand new spin on this ole rollin' wheel
And that's some powerful stuff, well, that's a girl in love
And that's the one thing, well, that changes everything

Well, I suppose on second thought, this ole town ain't so bad
It wouldn't hurt me to unload this load of mine
And there's a 'For Sale' sign on a little house
I saw just about a mile or so from here

But I've always been the kind for pullin' up the stakes
It's ain't never been like me to put down roots
But now, I'm thinkin' to, who am I kiddin'?
I ain't goin' anywhere

When she smiles at me, looks a while at me

And that changes everything, well, that's a whole 'nother deal
Puts a brand new spin on this ole rollin' wheel
And that's some powerful stuff, well, that's a girl in love
And that's the one thing, that changes everything

Well, that's a whole 'nother deal, that puts a brand new spin
On this ole rollin' wheel, that changes everything
Ah, yeah, that changes everything
