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
