I Just Drove By

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 life that we had, might have been 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 I need to know that life is still a place worth livin' 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 it's better days It's good to know some things remain the same Though standing still is not times way Take to heart while in it's spring That love is just a fragile thing Oh, 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 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 I just drove by to see if things had changed
