The Last Drive - In - Chris Ledoux[00:00:00]
Caravan of yellow wire[00:00:15]
And crawling across the plains[00:00:18]
Rolling along in a single file[00:00:22]
Like a slow moving train[00:00:25]
It rumbled down out of the mist[00:00:29]
Into the early morning light[00:00:32]
Said they stay till the job was[00:00:36]
Finished if it took them till midnight[00:00:38]
There were cats and scrapers[00:00:43]
All caterpillars packed up[00:00:45]
By mile high crane[00:00:48]
And it looked like monsters from the old[00:00:50]
B movies the drive-ins use to play[00:00:53]
And we'd sang goodbye Saturday[00:00:57]
Under the stars wake up little Suzy[00:01:00]
In my daddy's car[00:01:03]
So many memories got lost and found[00:01:06]
When a piece of history hit the ground[00:01:10]
The day they tore the last drive-in down[00:01:13]
Memories thick as the smoke clouds[00:01:31]
They made man and machine became one[00:01:34]
Boards snapped like toothpicks[00:01:38]
On their blades but to us[00:01:40]
It sounded like guns[00:01:43]
Cowboys soldiers gangsters and thieves[00:01:46]
James Bond and his golden girls[00:01:49]
Well you could sit in your car[00:01:52]
And never turn the key and go[00:01:54]
Half way around the world[00:01:56]
And it stood like a landmark[00:02:00]
For forty years[00:02:01]
We never thought we'd live to see[00:02:03]
It fall it to the ground and then[00:02:07]
Just disappear[00:02:09]
Like so many childhood dreams[00:02:11]
And we'd sang goodbye Saturday[00:02:13]
Under the stars[00:02:16]
Wake up little Suzy in my daddy's car[00:02:18]
So many memories got lost and found[00:02:22]
When a piece of history hit the ground[00:02:26]
The day they tore the last drive-in down[00:02:29]
A lot of the drivers had tears in their eyes[00:02:41]
But I don't think it was just the dust[00:02:44]
See I still believe there's a little piece[00:02:48]
Of that old drive-in left in all of us[00:02:50]
Nobody moved through[00:02:55]
What seemed like hours[00:02:56]
And slow motion it came tumbling down[00:02:58]
We just stood there with a taste of metal[00:03:01]
In our mouths and a silence all around[00:03:04]
The day they tore the last drive-in down[00:03:08]
And we'd sang goodbye Saturday[00:03:15]
Under the stars[00:03:18]
Wake up little Suzy in my daddy's car[00:03:20]
So many memories got lost and found[00:03:24]
When a piece of history hit the ground[00:03:28]
The day they tore the last drive-in down[00:03:31]
