Lyrics Ray LaMontagne

Ray LaMontagne

Drive-In Movies

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

Aaahhh

Spend all my childhood years

Wishing that I'd look like a movie star
