"Hickory Avenue"
Jack Settle Lyrics
Came home for Christmas and you’ve grown up a little taller
You talk a little different than you did when we were smaller
Said you finally left that boyfriend that I didn’t like
I hope you find someone who treats you right
Do you remember when we didn’t know the weight of the world?
It took a hundred minutes for an hour to go by
You never quite see it happen
When the old changes to new
But you’re not the girl that I once knew
On Hickory Avenue
They bulldozed our old playfield and turned it into tiny houses
The corner where we used to yield is a stoplight now
Mama and daddy got some new jobs and they’re moving away next month
But there will never be a place like this one
Do you remember when we didn’t know the weight of the world?
It took a hundred minutes for an hour to go by
You never quite see it happen
When the old changes to new
But you’re not the girl that I once knew
On Hickory Avenue
Do you remember when we didn’t know the weight of the world?
It took a hundred minutes for an hour to go by
You never quite see it happen
When the old changes to new
But you’re not the girl that I once knew
On Hickory Avenue
No, you're not the girl that I once knew
On Hickory Avenue
