The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Driving down the road
Is where you been before
Daydreaming about the things gone by
Faces and place that you're missing from your life
This just feel like ghosts in the night
You wonder how you made it through your highschool days
Trying to get you high
Hanging by the poolhole by the old back dark way
Sometimes on the radio
Something about you used to know
Sounds so familiar
Sounds so right
Let it take you back
To simple pleasure time
When a melody reminds you
Of a love you left behind
Let the music move you
'till you feel like letting go
Like a postcard from the past
Let it take you back
Couldn't wait to hold the album in my hand
Before e-mail and the internet , i stood in line
To buy tickets just to see my favorite band
The living past will get to you
You have a flash of deja-vu
You lose into the soundtrack of your life
And we climb into the backseat of my chevrolet
Smoking cigarettes and singing songs
Didn't have a worry, didn't have a care
I wonder where the innocence is gone
Sometimes on the radio
Something about you used to know
Sounds so familiar
Sounds so right
Let it take you back
To simple pleasure time
When a melody reminds you
Of a love you left behind
Let the music move you
'till you feel like letting go
Like a postcard from the past
Let it take you back
Let it take you back
Where emotions start to flow
You come to your sense
Cause it's all you'll ever know
Like a painted photograph
Let it take you back
Do you remember?
Ohh, let it take you back
Ohhh
