Adrian Belew - 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
