Little children
Out in the rain 
Slippin' and slidin'
Covered in pain
Bodies broken
Soaked to the bone
Little children
Going on home

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Someone outta make 'em feel fine 
And so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so
Someone's gotta change, change your mind 

Flying down Juniper
Three wheel line
Long gone
Kiss it goodbye 
Mother and father
Covered in snow
Little children
Going on home

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Someone outta make 'em feel fine
And so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so
Someone's gotta change, change your mind 

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Someone outta make 'em feel fine
And so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so
Someone's gotta change, change your mind
Mind...
Mind...
 
Another to prove 
Your blood is mine 
I have no children 
Just some design
Woven mystery
It fills up this womb
No little children 
Left to go home

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

Some may be puzzled by this song's attitude, which seems to be one of a man wanting children, because Lindsey already has two! However, I believe this was written pre-children. (of course, pre-marriage, too, since he did that in reverse-order. These rock star types!)

I think this song has a theme of the cycle of death/birth - only then-childless Lindsey doesn't have anybody to carry on that cycle. The beginning starts out with a sad scene, children hurting, "going on home." In the next verse, he talks about "mother and father covered in snow". It bring to mind an image of snow-covered graves to me... and then the children have to turn around and go on home alone (I believe "children" is referring to one no matter the age, relative to the parents.) Lindsey's mother only died after he wrote this song, but it could still be the effect he was going for... death of one generation and the next carries on.

The problem in the third verse is that he has no childen, and therefore, when he dies no one will be left to carry on his bloodline - "no little children left to go home." But he's got "a design" - maybe a plan to have kids now, because he's changed his mind. He no longer wants to fly down that freeway - he wants to kiss that kind of life goodbye. Instead, he's realized that he wants to have children, he wants to experience that "woven mystery" of having a baby whose "blood" is his. So, who changed his mind? Kristen? Did he feel that now he's finally found someone he can create this new life with? Whatever the case, he now has the family he longed for in this song.
