We Can't Go Back to the Creek No More

We can’t go back to the creek no more

Why on earth not

Well the land just sold

So many memories — now I feel old

it was the creek where Becky learned to skate

and Tom caught the fish that the family ate

— And when you got older, warn’t it the creek

where you learned the basics of kissing technique

Sure as hell was

It’s like it was yesterday

But you’re telling me now that we can’t go back there

Not legally least

Well that doesn’t seem fair

Calm down George

No i won’t calm down

just cus you pay for a strip of land

don’t mean the deed for a heart’s in your hand

it was our damn world to live and learn in

now just cus some devs got their wallets burnin’

we don’t own it no more

Well...we kinda still do

The Hell you mean

I mean ain’t it true

that the creek is still ours even if it’s gone

we’re only moving to the next day’s dawn

and we never could really go back after all

to swear with the boys and play some ball...

memory’s all we can keep in the end

kids just grow up in the palm of your hand

the seconds have always passed us by

And one of these days, Jim

Don’t say it

We’ll die
