| You gotta stop this car and let me out
|
| There’s something funky here’ll make a grown man shout
|
| I can see little boys chasing after scoop ball
|
| Back when our dreams were so big
|
| And our hands were so small
|
| Oh, it’s stopping the whole neighborhood
|
| Man, just look around
|
| Big brother and sister been my friends before
|
| I was just a little cranky boy, never really knew the score
|
| I stole your money and took your records too
|
| Brother, while you were away I was still running from you
|
| Oh, memories of the old neighborhood
|
| Now some folks stay at home and some folks go away
|
| Boys will go to war, some cats go astray
|
| Watching baseball while the radio’s low
|
| Looking out at the streetlights for the first signs of snow
|
| Lord, give me some snow, man, I need a snow day
|
| Oh, memories of the old neighborhood
|
| That place used to be a candy store right over there
|
| I got my first kiss right outside that place |
