lyrics

Yesterday I took a drive
Where we're going I don't mind
I just let the car decide
We left the city far behind

The destination soon 'came clear
Though all along I must have known
It's been more than twenty years
Since I last called this place my home

CHORUS
But now they're tearing the neighbourhood down
And the house where we once lived has been raised to the ground
Is this the last time I'm coming back to my home-town?
Now they're tearing the neighbourhood down

I used to come back all the time
To visit family and my friends
But everyone either moved away or died
And now there's no-one left

CHORUS
So now they're tearing the neighbourhood down
And the house where we once lived has been raised to the ground
Is this the last time I'm coming back to my home-town?
Now they're tearing the neighbourhood down

BRIDGE
Our old house stood tall and proud
Though there were strangers in there now
Sometimes I’d park out on the road
And think about when we were boys and girls
And these few streets were all the world
It seems so very long ago

CHORUS
And now they're tearing the neighbourhood down
And the house where we once lived has been raised to the ground
Is this the last time I'm coming back to my home-town?
Now that they're tearing......... tearing the neighbourhood down
