I grew up in a house next to the Drive-In  We’d sit up on the roof and watch the cars roll in   and watch all the couples fog up their cars  And write on the windows their fingerprint hearts.  Then they slowly would drive home long after midnight    I grew up in a house next to the Drive-In  Erected and dreamed in 1953  From summer to summer, picture on picture  We’d sit up on the rooftop and watch with no sound  But the silence never mattered that much to me    Then somebody said that they went and sold the Drive-In  And that the cranes would come and take them silver   screens away  They’re planning on paving a parking lot plaza  Well, why do we need one if every town has one?   and my Dad said there was no damn use to fight it    Most of the town forgot there was a Drive-In   most of the hearts that were drawn did fade away   but the movies did move me, the stars were our ceiling  So the people with romance and the people with feeling  Still think about that Drive-In everyday  When they’re traveling by that plaza on their way
