Story Behind The Song

Another song written for a local hotrod car club.

Song Description

Fifties-style doo-wop tune about a girls' date with a guy at the local drive-in theatre.

Lyrics

At the drive-in
He took me there one night

At the drive-in
I was hoping that he might

Verse 1

He was leaning on the jukebox, a Camel in his hand
The first time I laid eyes on him down at the burger stand
In his jeans and leather jacket, he really looked so fine
And in my girlish dreams, I wished that he?d be mine

At the drive-in
He pulled me to his side

At the drive-in
I gazed into his eyes

Verse 2

He asked me to the movies, but those plans all went astray
I can?t recall a single thing shown on the screen that day
He dropped the top on his new car as stars glittered above
He kissed my lips so gently, I knew this must be love

Bridge

My mother always told me, ?Don?t fall in love too fast,
Just take things really slowly and you?ll find that love will last?
If Mama ever had the chance to see him through my eyes
The reasons why I can?t hold back, she?d surely realise

????????..solo????????..

At the drive-in
Where he first held my hand

At the drive-in
That?s where it all began

Verse 3

He snuggled warmly whispering sweet nothings in my ear
Despite the movie soundtrack, only his voice could I hear
My heart beat out a message ? there was one thing left to do
I told him that I loved him and he said he loved me too

At the drive in???????(cycle out)
