Drive-In Movies - Ray LaMontagne

Spend all my childhood years

Wishing that

I'd look like a movie star

Cigarette behind my ear

Leaning up against a muscle car

Wanna know the things that

I should've known

Got smokes that

I stole from a 7-O

Everybody's at

The drive-in I wanna go

Wanna be the guy

"doesn't like to fight"

Who can kick your

A** if you touch his girl

Wanna be the guy

"breaks all the rules"

But the cops let him off

'Cause they think he's cool

Wanna know the things

That I should've known

Got smokes that I stole from a 7-O

Everybody's at the drive-in I wanna go

Drive-in movies

Drive-in movies

Drive-in movies

Aaahhh

Grew up fast in a Nebraska town

Nothing goin' on in Pleasenton

All them boys is never around

Just me and the guys skipping school

Wanna know the things

That I should've known

Got smokes that I stole from a 7-O

Everybody's at the drive-in I wanna go

Drive-in movies

Drive-in movies

Drive-in movies

Aaahhh

I wanna be Brando in the Wild One

I wanna be something to someone

'Cause nothing ever changes in this town

Same old crew hanging around

To bring me some sh*t to go down

Hey love aaahhh

Drive-in movies

Drive-in movies

Drive-in movies

Aaahhh

Now I'm grown kids of my own

Never thought I could be a dad

Me and my girl going strong

Still the best friend that I ever had

Now I know the things that I didn't know

Got smokes but I bought

'Em now at the gas & oil

Drive in's just an empty lot no one knows

I miss those

Drive-in movies

Drive-in movies

Drive-in movies

Drive-in movies

Drive-in movies

Drive-in movies

Drive-in movies

Drive-in movies

Spend all my childhood years

Wishing that I'd look like a movie star
