Oh yeah Drivin' by the drive in movies Started thinkin' 'bout me and Suzie And how we used to spend those Saturday nights Later on we'd be out cruisin' Dashboard drummin' to our favorite music Kissin' on the porch till her mama flashed the light We had the world in the palm of our hands I guess fate had other plans This used to be our town There wasn't a back road we hadn't been down This used to be our town Every inch is still sacred ground Now I'm driving these streets and her sweet memory Still makes my heart pound This used to be our town Suzie cried the day that I left for college Didn't give a damn about higher knowledge All she really wanted was a family When I got back there was nothin' I could do Her first baby was almost two I guess she's doin' fine without me Now some thing's change and some thing's don't Some thing's wait and some thing's won't This used to be our town There wasn't a back road we hadn't been down This used to be our town Every inch is still sacred ground Now I'm driving these streets and her sweet memory Still makes my heart pound This used to be our town This used to be our town Now I'm driving these streets and her sweet memory Still makes my heart pound This used to be our town This used to be our town
