lyrics

Closed down the old high school
After consolidation passed
Covered the old rail-road tracks
Now it’s Highland Avenue
Revitalization cleaned up the streets
Buildings got a new coat of paint
But they’re still empty just the same
This town makes me think of you
Places change, people seldom do

Your second wife had just walked out
I was waiting tables at the Candlelight
We met your life was a wreck
But I jumped right in
A crash course on grown-up things
Married with Mom and Dad’s wedding rings
With my mom and dad’s wedding rings
I promised a better life for you
Hearts will change, people seldom do

You say you want to and you’ll it prove to me
You will, you promise, someday I will see
I’m not happy with who you are
Can’t be happy with who you’re not
Tomorrow is today have you forgot
Been given a chance or two
Times will change, people seldom do

We’ve been all over as if all we’ve
Needed was a change of scenery
Keep on looking back
But it’s not what it used to be
Sorting through the boxes
Down here on the basement floor
Amazing at the junk we never seem to use anymore
Easier to find something new
Things will change, people seldom do

You say you want to and you’ll it prove to me
You will, you promise, someday I will see
I’m not happy with who you are
Can’t be happy with who you’re not
Tomorrow is today have you forgot
Been given a chance or two
