Where did you turn seventeen? - Great Coach Lane! Where’d you do your growing time? - Great Coach Lane! Where’d you learn to pop a cap? - Great Coach Lane! Where is it you ain’t, today? - Great Coach Lane! You still remember the hood, homes? Yeah, right there - down in your bones. Tell you this: you never lived a single day, you never cruised down Great Coach Lane. Sure, babe! Where did you turn seventeen? - Great Coach Lane! Where’d you do your growing time? - Great Coach Lane! Where do lights stay on all night? - Great Coach Lane! Where is it you ain’t, today? - Great Coach Lane! They change the name, they change the view, make everything brand-spanking new. It don’t matter where you go or where you roam, you’re walking down the Lane, heading home. Sure, babe! Where did you turn seventeen? - Great Coach Lane! Where’d you do your growing time? - Great Coach Lane! Where do lights stay on all night? - Great Coach Lane! Where is it you ain’t, today? - Great Coach Lane!
