Rode by the Place (Where We Used to Stay) Songtext
von David Ruffin

The past is never forgotten
It merely takes its place, an empty space of each yesterday
I was out riding, so I rode by the place where we used to stay
I was out riding, so I rode by where we used to stay
The flowers that we planted are still growing in the yard
I can still smell the fragrance as sweet memories return to my heart
And I pulled over to the curb and stared aimlessly at the door
It was hard to imagine we didn′t live there anymore
I was out riding, it was a sunny day
Woo-hoo, huh, so I rode by where we used to stay
I was out riding, I stopped in at a carwash that
Afternoon, so I rode by where we used to stay
Listen, the people we knew and trusted have all since then moved away
But I can still hear their gossip through the silence when I think
Of yesterday, a faded picture in my wallet that I hold in my hand Take me back to the time when love was in our plan
I was out riding, I wasn't doing nothing there but move my ride
Around town, so I rode by the place where we used to stay
I was out riding, it was a sunny day
So I rode by where we used to stay
A faded picture in my wallet that I hold in my hand
Take me back to the time when love was in our plan
I was out riding, so I rode, I rode
By the place where we used to stay
I was out riding, so I rode by where we used to stay
I was out riding, it was a bright and sunny day, oh, so I
Rode, memories took me back where we used to stay, babe
Thinkin′ about all the good times
So I rode by where we used to stay
