<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
