Fred the Bear - Empty Lot (Live)

KKXL was beamin' Journey to my radio
Sending "Wheels in the Sky" across the Prairie
All the way to my back door
I've been down this road a thousand times before
I grew up here a lifetime ago

Ten o'clock comes early
When the summer sky still glows
Then we'd gather on your front steps
Just to talk some more
We solved all our problems from the night before
It seemed so complicated in our simple world

I used to meet you at the empty lot
You and me with all the kids on the block
Playing kick the can
Can't believe how fast we ran
It wasn't that long ago
The empty lot was just a house next door
Wonder where they ran
When we were playing kick the can
Out on the empty lot

Can't help but to smile 'bout those nights at the picture show
Sneaking into the drive in the trunk of your old man's Ford
Sipping a little sloe gin with our cokes
Kicking around in the gravel laughing at your jokes

Oh the Drive-Inn's gone, just a memory
And the empty lot is our history
They'll still live on as long as we still breath
With a sepia haze inside our wildest dreams
Oh the empty lot

Wish I could meet you at the empty lot
You and me with all the kids on the block
Playing kick the can
Can't believe how fast we ran
It wasn't that long ago
The empty lot was just a house next door
Wonder where they ran
When we were playing kick the can
Out on the empty lot

Out on the empty lot
Out on the empty lot
