I spent all my childhood years Wishin' that I looked like a movie star A cigarette behind my ear Leanin' up against a muscle car Wanna know all 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 I wanna be the guy who doesn't like to fight But 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 Wanna know all 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 Drive-in movies Drive-in movies Drive-in movies Ahh 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 are skippin' school Wanna know all 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 Drive-in movies Drive-in movies Drive-in movies Ahh I wanna be Brando in "The Wild One" I wanna be somethin' to someone 'Cause nothin' ever changes in this town The same old crew hangin' around Just waitin for some shit to go down But we love our drive-in movies Drive-in movies Drive-in movies Drive-in movies Ahh Now I'm grown, kids of my own I never thought I could be a dad Me and my girl, we're goin' strong Still the best friend that I ever had Now I know all the things that I didn't know I 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 drive-in movies Drive-in movies Drive-in movies Drive-in movies Drive-in movies Drive-in movies Drive-in movies Drive-in movies I spent all my childhood years Wishin' that I looked like a movie star
