[Verse 1]  You're the kid from down the street,  The one we used to greet,  & We're glad that it turned out good,  Were pleased that you done well,  But maybe you could tell,  Us in person like real friends should.  Because it doesn't take that much,  & You then you find your outta touch,  With the people you call friends,  So maybe now it's time,  You should drop them all a line,  Yeah it's time to make amends.    [Bridge]  You shouldn't take it for granted,  The roots that you've planted,  Will be fine,  You should make it a mission,  To go back & check from time to time.    [Chorus]  Break out, Play about,  But don't leave out,  People that you started it from.  Break out, Play about,  But don't leave out,  People where you started it from.    [Verse 2]  It didn't take that much,  To say you'd keep in touch,  But how many people do?  There the ones that got you there,  Doesn't mean you have to care,  I guess that is up to you.  They're the best days of your life,  The time you learn to run/ to write,  No money could buy you those,  So hold on to your past,  You've gotta make those friendships last,  Coz the good time comes & goes!    [Bridge]    [Chorus x 2]    [Solo]    [Verse 3]  Growin' up,  Getting old,  Don't wanna be,  Left in the cold.  A different place,  A newer face,  Conceal the past,  Without a trace.  It only takes,  A little while,  To call them up,  & Make 'em a smile!    [Bridge]    [Chorus x 2]
