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

Though it's not the same without you

Our lives in the fast lane

It's not the same without you

It's not the same without you
It's not the same without you
