Lyrics

Drive-In Movies

[Verse 1]

Spent all my childhood years

Wishin' that I looked like a Movie-Star

A cigarette behind my ear

Leanin' up against a muscle car

[Pre-Chorus]

Wanna know the things that I shouldn't know

Got smokes that I stole from the Seven-L

Everybody's at the Drive-In, I wanna go

[Verse 2]

I wanna be the guy who doesn't like to fight

Who could kick your ass if you touch his girl

I wanna be the guy who breaks all the rules

But the cops let him off cause they think he's cool

[Pre-Chorus]

Wanna know the things that I shouldn't know

Got smokes that I stole from the Seven-L

Everybody's at the Drive-In, I wanna go

[Chorus]

Drive-In Movies

Drive-In Movies

Drive-In Movies

[Verse 3]

Grew up fast in that Nebraska town

Nothin' goin on and even less to do

Mom's at work, and Dad's never around

So me and the guys we're skippin' school

[Pre-Chorus]

Wanna know the things that we shouldn't know

Got smokes that I stole from the Seven-L

Everybody's at the Drive-In, I wanna go

[Chorus]

Drive-in Movies

Drive-in Movies

Drive-in Movies

[Bridge]

I wanna be Brando in the Wild One

I wanna be somethin' to someone

Cause nothin' ever happens in this town

The same old crew, hangin' around

Jus' waitin for some shit to go down

We love our

[Chorus]

Drive-in Movies

Drive-in Movies

Drive-in Movies

[Verse 4]

Now I'm grown, kids of my own

Never thought I could be a Dad

Me and my girl, we're goin' strong

Still the best friend I ever had

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I know the things that I didn't know

Got smokes, but I buy em' now, I guess I'm old

Drive-in's just an empty lot that no one mows

I miss those

[Chorus]

Drive-in Movies

Drive-in Movies

Drive-in Movies

Drive-in Movies

Drive-in Movies

Drive-in Movies

Drive-in Movies

Drive-in Movies

[Outro]

Spent all my childhood years

Wishin' that I looked like a Movie-Star
