Chris Ledoux - The Last Drive In Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Caravan of yellow wire and crawling across the plains
  • Rolling along in a single file like a slow moving train
  • It rumbled down out of the mist into the early morning light
  • Said they stay till the job was finished if it took them till midnight
  • There were cats and scrapers all caterpillars packed up by mile high crane
  • And it looked like monsters from the old b movies the drive-ins use to play
  • And we'd sang goodbye Saturday under the stars
  • Wake up little Suzy in my daddy's car
  • So many memories got lost and found
  • When a piece of history hit the ground
  • The day they tore the last drive-in down
  • Memories thick as the smoke clouds they made man and machine became one
  • Boards snapped like toothpicks on their blades but to us it sounded like guns
  • Cowboys soldiers gangsters and thieves James Bond and his golden girls
  • Well you could sit in your car and never turn the key and go half way around the world
  • And it stood like a landmark for forty years we never thought we'd live to see
  • It fall it to the ground and then just disappear like so many childhood dreams
  • And we'd sang goodbye...
  • A lot of the drivers had tears in their eyes but I don't think it was just the dust
  • See I still believe there's a little piece of that old drive-in left in all of us
  • Nobody moved through what seemed like hours, and slow motion it came tumbling down
  • We just stood there with a taste of metal in our mouths and a silence all around
  • The day they tore the last drive-in down
  • And we'd sang goodbye...
