Lyrics

I came back through town on memory lane
But I soon found out things weren’t the same
Went to the place where I was born
A condemned sign hung on the door

The neon lights don’t shine here Anymore
They’re gone with all the dance halls and music stores
The kids are getting strung out with the blues
Because there’s nothing better left to do

So join in the chorus and strike up the band
For one last parade through the wasteland

I saw the schoolyard where I used to play
A man was killed there the other day
I passed the drive-in long torn down
And took the highway out of my hometown

The neon lights don’t shine here Anymore
They’re gone with all the dance halls and music stores
The kids are getting strung out with the blues
Because there’s nothing better left to do

So join in the chorus and strike up the band
For one last parade through the wasteland
