Verse 1
The rain is falling down, as you step out of your car
Reflections all around, you know you've traveled far
School days rushin through your heart
With a smile on your face

Bridge 1
With that old familiar fire
Street lights dimmed to inspire
Loved ones by your side,
And then you close your eyes real tight

Chorus
In our old neighborhood - repeat
No matter who you are, how far you've come
This is where you belong

Verse 2
Memories from Larimer Avenue
Are the sweetest ones that remain with you
It's a comfort inside, going back in time
The place you'll never leave

Bridge 1
With those old familiar smiles
Old tales told to inspire
Brothers by your side
When you kissed you mother goodnight

Chorus
In that old neighborhood - repeat
No matter who you are, how far you've come
This is where you belong

Bridge 2
Though you hate the changes, it all rearranges
I know it's just not fair - precious time was taken
Special friends were made then - there's magic in the air

Solo

Bridge 1
With that old familiar fire
Cracks in the pavement
Angels by your side
Hold your memories real tight to inspire

Chorus
In our old neighborhood
No matter who you are, how much you've grown
This will always be your home

"For my Uncle Anthony 'Herb' Amen, thank you for all your encouragement and support."
