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 & scr*pers 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
[Verse]
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]
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
[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
[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
