I always go the other way
But my car drove me down today
to a little house on the older side of town
And back when things were 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
Alot of things were cheap and square and strange
The life we had might have been
But it was one we loved believin in
And I just drove by to see if things had changed
I wonder now if love is still the way it was back then
And I need to know if life is still a place worth livin in
There it is just like it was
A house where there was always love
And i just drove by to see if things had changed
In a world thats seen its better days
Its good to know some things remain the same
Though standin still is not times 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
