I Don't Ever Want To Change

I lived in the country where the dead wood aches
 In a house made of stone and a thousand mistakes
 Where the glory of morning got crushed by the burden of day
 I went down to the seaside and it was light and easy
 But it was salt in my wounds man I won't ever be free
 Though alone on a beach getting drunk ain't a bad way to be
 But I don't ever want to change
 It would all be so much easier if you didn't have to change
 I ran a store for six months
 Took a match one night
 Left concern impaled on a receipt spike
 And all hope petering on a leaky roof
 And an electric heater up in the back of the room
 Well the assessor came came early to walk the ashes
 Showing high spirits wouldn't help my chances
 I got the money in a week and for a while there everything was fine
 See your doctor take the cure and then you got it made
 But the vertigo is telling me to stay away
 In two weeks flat I seen the Zoloft put my baby in the grave
 I don't ever want to change
 I don't ever want to change
 I know my limits well
 Seems they're never that far away
