Lyrics

VERSE
Four of us headin’ for the drive-in
Plannin’ to get a little drunk
Two of us ridin’ in the front seat
Two of us hidin’ in the trunk

VERSE
Me and her holdin’ tight to the bottle
Him and her payin’ for the show
Nobody knows what the movie is
But we all know where we want to go

VERSE
Speaker playin’ just loud enough
To cover up our whispers to the girls
Soft drinks mixin’ with the hard stuff
And all is right with the world

CHORUS
Here’s to longin’ for the good old days
When havin’ fun was back-seat makin’ out
Friends were forever and always
What the hell is this new world all about?
Sometimes we frosted up the windshield
Sometimes we had to turn the cool air on
I’m gettin’ close to bein’ ready to go
Back to that drive-in picture show

SOLO/VERSE
Damn the luck, here comes intermission
Him and me sent to get some ice
Back to the fishin’ expedition
Searchin’ for the key to paradise

VERSE
Got my thumb bent back almost double
When she thought I went a little far
Steering wheel gave me lots of trouble
But thank the Lord for the family car

VERSE
Two hearts meshin' in the front seat
Two hearts meshin' out in the back
Four hearts hittin’ all those extra beats
It may end with a heart attack

Repeat CHORUS (2x)/TAG
Yeah, right back to that drive-in picture show
