Funny you should show up after all of these years 
Yeah things sure have changed around here 
Seen a lot of strangers since they put that interstate through 
No this ain't the same town that we once knew 

They put up a plant where we used to park 
That ol' drive in's a new Wal Mart 
The café is closed where our names were carved on that corner booth 
Yeah  everything's changed except for the way I feel about you 

That westbound to Santa Fe don't stop here anymore 
You were one of the last to get on board 
That street that we grew up on you wouldn't recognize 
Girl nothing's been the same since you said good-bye 

They put up a plant where we used to park 
That ol' drive-in's a new Wal-Mart 
The café is closed where our names were carved on that corner booth 
Yeah, everything's changed except for the way I feel about you 

They put up a plant where we used to park 
That ol' drive-in's a new Wal-Mart 
The café is closed where our names were carved on that corner booth 
Everything's changed except for the way I feel about you 

Yeah, everything's changed except for the way I feel about you
