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
