Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I’m strolling down these Blanchester roads,
Where the stories of old still echo and unfold,
The girl from ’96 haunts my mind,
She just vanished like the years we’ve left behind.

(Chorus)
But the days we knew, they’re lost in time,
Just faded pictures in a lonesome rhyme,
From Veterans Park to the old town square,
The past is a shadow, but I still find it there.

(Verse 2)
We swiped that UDF cow on a reckless night,
All that laughter in the air, everything felt right,
Then someone made off with the cannon from the grave,
Now it's as hollow as the promises we gave.

(Chorus)
But the days we knew, they’re lost in time,
Just faded pictures in a lonesome rhyme,
From Mugzie’s Pizza to Leona’s grill,
The memories linger, and they always will.

(Bridge)
Driving down Rubber Road, with the drill team by my side,
Cruisin’ through the memories where our young hearts used to hide,
The old bank turned to Police station,
Three percent beer, little kings, those little bottles of salvation.

(Verse 3)
Fried chicken and gizzards from the IGA store,
A gallon of ice cream from Kroger, we couldn’t ask for more,
But now those days are just shadows on the wall,
The good old times that slipped and let us fall.

(Chorus)
But the days we knew, they’re lost in time,
Just faded pictures in a lonesome rhyme,
From Veterans Park to the old town square,
The past is a shadow, but I still find it there.

(Verse 4)
Elmer’s Club by the railroad track,
We’d gather there with no thought of turning back,
The music played, the nights went long,
Now it’s just a corner where the memories belong.

(Chorus)
But the days we knew, they’re lost in time,
Just faded pictures in a lonesome rhyme,
From Veterans Park to the old town square,
The past is a shadow, but I still find it there.

(Outro)
Now I roam these streets where the past still lives,
Chasing the dreams that time never forgives,
The years have gone, but the heartache stays,
Precious time gone, but they haunt my days.
