Adrian Belew 117 Valley Drive Lyrics

117 Valley Drive Lyrics

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
