There you go driving in your big long car You got a house overlooking the town But be nice to everybody on your way up You're gonna need 'em again coming down You don't even speak when we pass on the street You don't even know your old friends But don't get too proud you're gonna need the old crowd Cause we all remember you when Well there you go driving...

Yeah there you go driving... You're gonna need 'em again coming down You're gonna need 'em again coming down
