There's a place that I once lived, in a tiny little town without a name
On a street called Shady Lane
Where I would ride the fences, make excuses or find someone else to blame
With no desire to change
Hazy lines between wrong and right
Oh how it used to be a way of life
Shady Lane, I'm not sad to say good-bye
Shady Lane, I won't miss you when I'm gone
Shady Lane, now it's time to be moving on
I was comfortable to hide behind dirty windows
Overgrown with vines
I found contentment in a place of neglect with no regrets
Never noticing the threats
Paid no attention to the choices I made
Now I know that I would be sorry if I stayed
Shady Lane, I'm not sad to say good-bye
Shady Lane, I won't miss you when I'm gone
Shady Lane, now it's time to be moving on
I felt at a knocking at my heart
This creaky door flew open wide
To introduce me to a whole new world
Drawn by the voice that whispered come outside
Shady Lane, I'm not sad to say good-bye
Shady Lane, I won't miss you when I'm gone
Shady Lane, now it's time to be moving on
Shady Lane, I'm not sad to say good-bye
Shady Lane, I won't miss you when I'm gone
Shady Lane, now it's time to be moving on
