I Just Drove By lyrics

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 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 wondered now
If love is still the way it was back then
I need to know
That life is still a place worth living 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 its better days
It`s good to know some things remain
The same, though standing 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
