Lyrics
I FIRST LEARNED OF ?B? MOVIES WHEN I WAS WITH MY FAMILY
WE PILED HIGH INTO A VEE-DUB BUG
HUNG THE SPEAKER FROM THE WINDOW
THE SNACK BAR AD?S AN INNUENDO
THE MOVIE NEVER QUITE FIT ON THE SCREEN
IT?S THE LAST DRIVE-IN MOVIE
I USED TO GO THERE WHEN I WAS A KID
WHEN I TURNED TO 16, I GOT MY OWN MAKE-OUT MACHINE
I STEAMED UP WINDOWS WITH THE BEST OF THEM
WE?D MEET UP EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT
THE SNACK BAR FOOD WAS NEVER QUITE RIGHT
TO START THE MOVIE WE?D ALL FLASH OUR LIGHTS
IT?S THE LAST DRIVE-IN MOVIE
I USED TO GO THERE WHEN I WAS A KID
LOOKS LIKE IT?S OVER, THE CREDIT?S ROLLING
LOOKS LIKE IT?S OVER, IT GOT PAVED OVER
WE LOVED THE DIRT-FILLED PARKING LOT
THE COMFORT OF OUR DROP-TOPS
THE DOUBLE FEATURE THAT WE?D NEVER SEE
IT?S NOT ABOUT THE MOVIE, OR PASSION IN THE BACKSEAT
IT?S ABOUT MEMORIES OF A DYING BREED
IT?S THE LAST DRIVE-IN MOVIE
I USED TO GO THERE WHEN I WAS A KID
