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
Ass 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 shit 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
