A Town I Passed Through

  Just a little town

Drive through it almost everyday

Looking out the window, cold rushes over me

  Cause I miss it in a way

The memories of where all my time was spent

   Day after day

 

  By the houses on the street

I see all the people I used to meet

Kids I grew up with, their familiar faces

  Come back to remind my heart

It's amazing how fast some of us grew apart

 

  Then by the place where I used to live

   A new house sits on the lot

Over the tracks were the deserted places

  Where kids used to smoke pot

 

   But I still smell the stench of the blazing fire

    When the house came down,

    Staying in my hometown was my only desire

 

     I remember their faces

     Running out that night

     And all the battles

     We stood together to fight
