Edwin McCain - Popcorn Box Lyrics
"There's a black girl singin' in the morning before churchcause she wants things just rightThere's a white boy holdin' his headcause he stayed out too late last nightAt the same time Mamma's yellin'move your asses or I'll leave you behindThe god lord don't wait for sinners all dayespecially sinners of your kind.CHORUS:The old daysThe old ways of the drive-in picture show.It's a fact, if it was opened baby, you and me, we'd surely go.The picture rolls by, soundtrack low, but we don't see a thing.Feel around in the middle of your popcorn box,at the bottom is a diamond ring. (yes)I love you, could you, hold me tight,like we're pretending it ain't about black or white.Sun burns hot early in the morningsmall town, best hush my mouth.We've all got closets that we live in.Down at Baker's housethe right fun with the wrong onethat's things we don't talk about.Hell always seems to rise to the surfaceon that you can count.CHORUS:The old daysThe old ways of the drive-in picture showIt's a fact, if it was opened baby, you and me, we'd surely gothe picture rolls by, soundtrack low, but we don't see a thing.Feel around in the middle of your popcorn box,at the bottom is a diamond ring. (yes)I love you, could you, hold me tight,like we're pretending it ain't about black or white.Young man makes a young man's stand,tries to stand up tall.Old man from the same clanbangs his head against the wall.Life's rough, it just get's tougherbut that ain't no thing, it's always one thingor another, let me tell you brother....Shut your mouth boy and sing.CHORUS:The old daysThe old ways of the drive-in picture showIt's a fact, if it was opened baby, you and me, we'd surely gothe picture rolls by, soundtrack low, but we don't see a thing.Feel around in the middle of your popcorn box,at the bottom is a diamond ring. (yes)I love you, could you, hold me tight,like we're pretending it ain't about black or white.I love you, could you, hold me tight,like we're pretending it ain't about black or white."
