Drove past the old house today

And couldn't realize

Whey my new friends couldn't see

The home that I saw with my eyes



Then I remembered that I hadn't

Been there in so long

And the things I'd seen

And things I'd done

Were memories that had gone



They'd just laugh and call me

The old senitmental fool

I know they're right

So I'll try to hide the pain

Because it breaks my

Heart to hear them say



Tear down the house on West End Road

It's been condemned a year and a day

It's paint is chipped, the bricks are old

The city says it's just in the way



Tear down the house on West End Road

It once was home to all of my dreams

Back when we were so young and bold

Has it really been so long

Since we fell apart at the seams



(Seems) Like just the other day

I saw it the first time

It needed paint, it needed work

It was run-down, but was mine



You wouldn't know it if you

Went and looked at it today

But that house hold the most

Treasured part of my past, in a way
