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 5 AND 10
A LOT 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 WONDERED NOW IF LOVE
IS STILL THE WAY
IT WAS BACK THEN
AND I NEED TO KNOW
THAT LIFE IS STILL
A PLACE
WORTH LIVIN' IN
THERE IT IS
JUST LIKE IT WAS
A HOUSE
WHERE THERE'S
ALWAYS LOVE
AND 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 STANDIN' 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
OH I JUST DROVE BY
TO SEE IF THINGS
HAD CHANGED
