Pontiac - Damon Johnson

Time goes by, I guess that’s how it goes

We’ve come a long way girl from those cottonfields

Out on Old Creek Road

I was the skinny boy;

you were the homecoming queen

We’d sit on those starry nights, tangled up in love

Dreaming young lover’s dreams

Girl it felt so good… just like forever should

I get lost sometimes in the memory

Thinking back to the way things used to be

Just you and I, when we were young

In my Pontiac, racing to the sun

Yeah we held the whole world in our hands

Livin' day by day was our only plans

Just you and I, when we were young

In my Pontiac, racing to the sun

And to the radio we’d sing… it sure was a good thing

Girl, I tried… to be the man you wanted me to be

But I got off track somewhere

Started running with the fools and fiends

I picked up and left your world

Didn’t know back then, the reasons I went away

Sometimes it all comes back

Like a ghost train full of yesterday

It carries me back home

Back to that old Creek Road

It stopped raining back in '95

We were so alive

In our boots and jeans, we were living free

All I wanted was you in those bucket seats
