I Just Drove By Lyrics - Willie Nelson

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 life that we had, might have been 

It was one we loved believin' 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 livin' 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 it's better days 

It's good to know some things remain the same 

Though standing still is not times way 

Take to heart while in it's spring 

That love is just a fragile thing 

Oh, 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 livin' in
