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
