<b>Driveways</b> by <i>Steven Neal Wagner</i><br />

Danny came home with a degree

And settled back in his old room

And I had a job on the 10th floor

Here in the town of my youth

And everyone else that I'd ever known

Had found a good reason to move

So when danny called up and said

How 'bout a beer well

I had nothing better to do

10 years ago we were in school

I was a friend of a friend

Chemistry books under his arms

And lord of the flies in my hands

We weren't jocks but we weren't nerds

We were somewhere in between

We weren't stars no we were just extras

In our little high school scene

Some friends are roads that take you onwards

Some friends are highways that bring you home

Then there are those who are the driveways

Get you out the door on fridays

That you would have spent alone

He'd get me at 8:00

And we'd head to this place

Out where the road turned to dirt

He'd have that beer then he'd dsappear

Hot on the trail of a skirt

He wasn't that brave but the one thing that saved him

Was knowing a more frightened man

So I'd save his place I'd tell him go get her ace

Then I would clap for the band

***Chorus***

An offer came through and danny agreed

And they flew him off to hawaii

I knew that he left but I overslept

And I never called to say goodbye

And I went to work and I went to bed

And nothin' seemed different at all

So isn't it strange that of all things

I would choose this to recall

***Chorus***

Yeah you would have spent alone
