The title and key track from the much acclaimed Them Changes rock/soul/funk album, the first recording by Buddy Miles after the Band of Gypsys stint with Jimi Hendrix.
The song did actually appear on the Band of Gypsys album, but gained no traction being very different from the band’s style.
[Intro]
Well, my mind is going through them changes
I feel just like committing a crime
Every time you see me goin' somewhere
I know I'm goin' outta my mind, yeah
Oh, my baby she left me the other day
And we were havin' a lot of fun
Oh, she knew I just loved her so
And that's the reason why she had to run
It's all right
You know what I mean
All right
What I say
All right
Oh, yeah
[Hook]
Well, my mind is goin' through so many changes
I'm goin' right out of my mind
Every time ya see me goin' somewhere
I could commit a big ole crime, yeah
She had me runnin'
She had me ridin'
She had me runnin', hidin', ridin', runnin'
She had me runnin'
She had me hidin'
Had me runnin
That's right, yeah

Had me hidin'
She had me runnin'
Had me hide

[Bridge]
Well, my mind is going through them changes
I feel just like committin' a crime
Every time ya see me goin' somewhere
I feel like I'm goin' outta my mind, yeah
Every day that she left me alone
She didn't have much to say, no no
Every time she stepped out on me
She didn't know how I feel, yeah
How'd I feel, how'd I feel, baby
She didn't know what I feel like
Every time, she just see me
She didn't know
No, no
Oh, my darling, darling
Oh, oh
