This evening at sundown

We meet in our small town

Everyone's going without ever knowing

To meet for the countdown

Our friends and our families

All hangout at Riley's

We stay for a while and jam out Guiel

Then walk on down George Street

And this road we choose, nothing to lose at all

That's the way it was and the way it is

Gone are the old days

Now we're on to something new

Our lives in the fast lane

Though it's not the same without you

It's not the same without you

Shows at the Gordon Best

And hockey at Northcrest

Our malls were a disgrace

Remember Portage Place

When we got kicked out

And told to never show our face

This road we choose, nothing to lose at all

That's the way it was and the way it is

Gone are the old days

Now we're on to something new

Our lives in the fast lane

Though it's not the same without you

It's not the same without you

We will keep, on our feet

In the streets that will never sleep

Gone are the old days

Now we're on to something new

Our lives in the fast lane

Though it's not the same without you

It's not the same without you
