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 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
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 wonder now if love is still the way it was back then
And I need to know
That life is still a place worth living in
And 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 that's seen it's better days
It's good to know some things remain the same
Though standing still is not time's wife
Take two heart while in it's 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
