THE LAST DRIVE-IN
by Chris LeDoux

 G         C             G                       D
Caravan of yellow wire, and crawling across the plains
 G                  C            G                   C
Rolling along in a single file, like a slow moving train
 G               C                G                      D
It rumbled down out of the mist, into the early morning light
 G                       C                 G                    C
Said they stay 'til the job was finished, if it took them 'til midnight
 G                              C             G                      D
There were cats & scrapers all caterpillars, packed up by mile high crane
 G                                C                 G                    D
And it looked like monsters from the old b movies, the drive-ins use to play

CHORUS
               G                 C
And we'd sang good bye Saturday under the stars
 G                                 D
Wake up little Suzy in my daddy's car
 G                    C             
So many memories got lost and found
 G                       C
When a piece of history hit the ground
 G                     C             G
The day they tore the last drive-in down

 G                     C                       G                      D
Memories thick as the smoke clouds they made, man and machine became one
 G                              C                G                         C
Boards snapped like toothpicks on their blades, but to us it sounded like guns
 G                  C                       G                         D
Cowboys, soldiers, gangsters, and thieves, James Bond and his golden girls
 G                                  C                          G                   C
Well you could sit in your car and never turn the key, and go half way around the world
 G                                C                     G                    D
And it stood like a landmark for forty years, we never thought we'd live to see
 G                                      C               G                 C
It fall it to the ground and then just disappear, like so many childhood dreams

CHORUS

BRIDGE - All on strum
 G                                       C
A lot of the drivers had tears in their eyes,
 G                                 C 
but I don't think it was just the dust
 G                                             C                                G
See I still believe there's a little piece of that old drive-in left in all of us

 G                         C                           G                       D
Nobody moved through what seemed like hours, and slow motion it came tumbling down
 G                                                C            G           C
We just stood there with a taste of metal in our mouths and a silence all around
                       D (One Strum) G (One Strum)
The day they tore the last drive-in down
