Smallville

VERSE ONE
We’d take our dates to the drive-in show
Park in the back where we could be alone
Little did we know
Time marches on
VERSE TWO
Drive downtown and meet our friends
Go to a place where the dirt began
And watch a fire burn low
Sang our favorite songs
PRE-CHORUS
But this is now and that was then
It’s too bad we can’t go back again
CHORUS
In small towns throughout this land
Weeds grow tall where a memory stands
Someone’s name’s on the water tower
A courthouse clock still chimes the hour
When all we know is the way it feels
And how such memories seem so real
From way back when…where life began
When we were livin’ in Smallville
VERSE THREE
I can still remember cruisin' around
Dreaming out loud of leaving town
And how when the sun set down
We were still nowhere bound
VERSE FOUR
It wasn’t too long before we knew
We’d put that town in our rear views
We thought we were so cool
The young can be such fools
PRE-CHORUS
But this is now and that was then
It’s too bad we can’t go back again
CHORUS
In small towns throughout this land
Weeds grow tall where a memory stands
Someone’s name’s on the water tower
A courthouse clock still chimes the hour
When all we know is the way it feels
And how such memories seem so real
From way back when…where life began
When we were livin’ in Smallville
BRIDGE
I drove back home not so long ago
Found the drive-in closed
And the parking lot overgrown
CHORUS
In small towns throughout this land
Weeds grow tall where a memory stands
Someone’s name’s on the water tower
A courthouse clock still chimes the hour
When all we know is the way it feels
And how such memories seem so real
From way back when…where life began
When we were livin’ in Smallville
