Well, I remember the good ‘ole days
In my home town
Swimming at the beach
And warm Summer sounds
The baseball park
At the end of my street
Or the trails through the woods
Go my running feet
Riding my bike to
Ronnie Shone’s corner store
Or somewhere else
I never been before
Front Street sure has changed
Next to the harbor pier was the Quarter Deck
Now it’s The Lucky Finn
All I could say is “What the heck”
I remember mom took me for
New shoes at Combs Shoe Store
Where is my youth?
My Scituate I want to restore
And the Quincy Gas Station where
Mom got S&H Green stamps with her gas
Now renovated to another bank
Might as well knock it down and grow grass
I used to go with mom into the bank
Like yesterday, I remember the Rockland Trust
Low and behold it’s still there
And inside still looks like it was
Over the years the town has changed
Gone now are places I used to know
Why does time have to change
The places I must let go
The Scituate I loved so much
The way it used to be
They say change is inevitable
But you can’t change me
