117 Valley Drive
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
117 Vale Drive
117 vale drive
Parecia o paraíso quando a banda chegou
Com alguns tambores e algumas guitarras
A gente tocava com toda a alma no meu quintal
E a galera vinha de todo lugar
Pra colocar suas cadeiras plásticas no ar de verão
Lá no vale drive
O pessoal chegava com crianças e cachorros, sentava no gramado,
E cantava junto com uma noite de hard hay
E um ingresso pra curtir
A gente mal tinha 13 anos
É, rindo como loucos, é, vivendo nossos sonhos
Bom, os meninos só faziam palhaçada e as meninas só conversavam
Mas quando a gente começava, bem, o mundo parava
Embora fosse uma época diferente
Nada se foi e nada mudou
Na minha cabeça
O que era, era um jeito de viver
Mas ninguém percebeu que o tempo tinha acabado
