Stephen Bard - Drive Through the Old Neighborhood Lyrics

The car was all ready
As we put on our jackets
For the drive
My dad had been steady
But his hopes for seeing someone
Were still alive
I smiled as stories
Of his childhood
Began to arrive
As he told them I felt
The feeling I felt
When I was young
There's Artie's house
He said to me
With a smile
He's passed away now
And I hadn't seen him
In a while
We played in a band
Growing up
In his mother's front den
He played one hell
Of a smoking guitar
Even then
We drove by his high school
I thought of old friends from the past
It's a funny and sad waste of time
Wondering why
The time goes so fast
I'm glad you're here he said
With a tear down his face
Me too I said
It's great to finally see this place
A memory is one of
The few things
That's truly your own
This one's a great one for me
He said as we went home
This one's a great one for me
He said as we went home
This one's a great one for me
He said as we went home
