117 Valley Drive

117 valley drive
 Seemed like heaven when the band arrived
 With a couple of drums and a couple guitars
 We'd play our hearts out in my backyard
 And the people came from everywhere
 To put their plastic chairs in the summer air
 Down on valley drive
 People came with kids and dogs, sat out on the lawn,
 And they sang along with a hard hay's nhght
 And a ticket to ride
 We were barely in our teens
 Yeah, laughin' like crazy, yeah, livin' our dreams
 Well, the boys just cut up and the girls just talk
 But when we'd start up, well, the world would stop
 Though it was a different age
 Nothing's gone and nothing's changed
 In my mind
 What it was was a way of life
 But no one noticed we'd run out of time
