[Verse 1]
Spent all my childhood years
Wishin' that I looked like a Movie-Star
A cigarette behind my ear
Leanin' up against a muscle car

[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna know the things that I shouldn't know
Got smokes that I stole from the Seven-L
Everybody's at the Drive-In, I wanna go

[Verse 2]
I wanna be the guy who doesn't like to fight
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna know the things that I shouldn't know
I got smokes that I stole from the Seven-L
Everybody's at the Drive-In, I wanna go

[Chorus]
Drive-In Movies
Drive-In Movies
Drive-In Movies
[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna know the things that we shouldn't know
We got smokes that we stole from the Seven-L
Everybody's at the Drive-In, I wanna go

[Chorus]
Drive-in Movies
Drive-in Movies
Drive-in Movies

[Bridge]
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
We love our

[Chorus]
Drive-in Movies
Drive-in Movies
Drive-in Movies
[Verse 4]
Now I'm grown, kids of my own
Never thought I could be a Dad
Me and my girl, we're goin' strong
Still the best friend I ever had

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I know the things that I didn't know
Got smokes, but I buy em' now, I guess I'm old
Drive-in's just an empty lot that no one mows
I miss those

[Chorus]
Drive-in Movies
Drive-in Movies
Drive-in Movies
Drive-in Movies
Drive-in Movies
Drive-in Movies
Drive-in Movies
Drive-in Movies

[Outro]
Spent all my childhood years
Wishin' that I looked like a Movie-Star
