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
