Ray Lamontagne - Drive-in Movies lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

I spent all my childhood years wishing that I looked like a movie-star

A cigarette behind my ear, leanin' up against a muscle car

(Chorus)

Wanna know all the things that I shouldn't know

I got smokes that I stole from the Seven-L

Everybody's at the drive and I wanna go

(Verse)

I wanna be the guy who doesn't like to fight,

But who could kick your ass if you touch his girl

I wanna be the guy who breaks all the rules,

But the cops let him off cause they think he's cool

(Chorus)

Wanna know all the things that I shouldn't know

I got smokes that I stole from the Seven-L

Everybody's at the drive and I wanna go

Drive-in movies x2

(Verse)

Grew up fast in that Nebraska town,

Nothin' goin on and even less to do

Mom's at work, and Dad's never around,

So me and the guys we're skippin' school

(Chorus)

Wanna know all the things that I shouldn't know

I got smokes that I stole from the Seven-L

Everybody's at the drive and I wanna go

Drive-in movies x2

(Verse)

I wanna be Brando in the Wild One

I wanna be somethin' to someone

Cause nothin' ever happens in this Town,

The same old crew, hangin' around

Jus' waitin for some shit to go down

But we love our Drive-in Movies

Now I'm grown, kids of my own, I never thought I could be a Dad

Me and my girl, we're goin' strong, still the best friend that I ever had

Now I know all the things that I didn't know

I got smokes, but I buy em' now, I guess I'm old

Drive-in's just an empty lot that no one mows

(Verse)

I miss those drive-in movies

I spent all my childhood years, wishin' that I looked like a movie-star
