| I always go the other way
|
| But my car drove me down today
|
| To a little house on the older side of town
|
| Back when things were never hard
|
| I used to play there in that yard
|
| And i just drove by to see if things had changed
|
| Cokes were just a nickel then
|
| And across the street at the five and ten
|
| A lot of things were cheap and square and strange
|
| And the life we had might have been
|
| But it was one we loved believing in And i just drove by to see if things had changed
|
| I wondered now
|
| If love is still the way it was back then
|
| I need to know
|
| That life is still a place worth living in There it is, just like it was
|
| A house where there was always love
|
| I just drove by to see if things had changed
|
| In a world that’s seen its better days
|
| It’s good to know some things remain
|
| The same, though standing still is not time’s way
|
| Take to heart while in its spring
|
| That love is just a fragile thing
|
| I just drove by to see if things had changed |
