I always go the other way, but my car drove me down todayTo a little house on the older side of townBack when things were never homeI used to play there in that yardAnd I just drove by to see if things had changedCokes were just a nickel thenAnd across the street at the five and tenA lot of things were really cheap, square and strangeThe life we had it might have beenBut it was one we loved believing inAnd I just drove by to see if things had changedI wonder now if love is still the way it was back thenAnd I need to know that lifeIs still a place worth living inThere it is just like it wasThe house where there was always loveAnd I just drove by to see if things had changedI wonder now if love is still the way it wasThe house where there was always loveAnd I just drove by to see if things had changedI wonder now if love is still the way it was. . .In a world that's seen its better daysIt's good to know some things remain the sameThough standing still is not time's wayTake to heart while in its springThat love is just a fragile thingAnd I just drove by to see if things had changedOh, oh I just drove by to see if things had changed
