The Drive-In (Summer of ’85)

[Verse 1]
It was 1985, and we couldn’t wait to go
We Pulled up in that old car, radio playin’ low
Gravel crunchin’ under tires, rows of cars in the glow
Find a spot in the back where nobody has to know

[Pre-Chorus]
Popcorn and a Coke, blanket on the seat
You’re sitting by my side, no place I’d rather be.

[Chorus]
At the drive-in, summer of ’85
The movie’s playin’ but I’m just lost in your eyes
Stealin’ kisses in the flicker of the silver screen light
Back when the drive-in felt like paradise

[Verse 2]
Sittin’ silent, both knowing but still being shy
That look in your eyes, it’s now do or die.
I pull you closer my sholder, you rest your head
Windows fog up from the things we never said

[Pre-Chorus]
Movie rolls but we haven’t a clue
This drivein world, it’s built for me and you.

[Chorus]
At the drive-in, back in the summer of ’85
we were young and dumb we only had one thing on our minds.
Stealin’ kisses in the flicker of the silver screen light
Back when the drive-in felt like paradise

[Bridge]
Now those lots are empty, screens torn down with time
But when I feel that warm breeze, girl, you’re still on my mind
Credits roll but we don’t move, just let the night linger on
Song on the radio fades, but we keep holdin’ on

[Chorus]
At the drive-in, back in the summer of ’85
we were young and dumb we only had one thing on our minds.
Stealin’ kisses in the flicker of the silver screen light
Back when the drive-in felt like paradise.

[Final Chorus]
Yeah, the drive-in… summer of ’85
We never saw the ending, but damn we felt alive
Under the glow of that Midwest sky
Back when the drive-in felt like paradise

Back when the drive-in felt like paradise
