๐ Lyrics
A caravan of yellow wire came crawling across the plains
Rolling along in single file, like a slow moving train
It rumbled down out of the mist into the early morning light
Said they'd stay 'til the job was finished if it took 'em 'til midnight
Well, there were cats and scrapers, old caterpillars, packed up by mile high crane
And it looked like monsters from the old B movies the drive-ins used to play
And we sang "Goodbye, Saturday" under the stars
"Wake Up Little Susie" in my daddy's car
So many memories got lost and found
When a piece of history hit the ground
The day they tore the last drive-in down
Memories thick as the smoke clouds they made
Man and machine became one
Boards snapped like toothpicks on their blades
But to us, it sounded like guns
Cowboys, soldiers, gangsters and thieves
James Bond and his golden girls
Well, you could sit in your car and never turn the key
And go halfway around the world
And it stood like a landmark for 40 years
We never thought we'd live to see
It fall to the ground and then just disappear
Like so many childhood dreams
And we sang "Goodbye, Saturday" under the stars
"Wake Up Little Susie" in my daddy's car
So many memories got lost and found
When a piece of history hit the ground
The day they tore the last drive-in down
A lot of the drivers had tears in their eyes
And I don't think it was just the dust
See, I still believe there's just a little piece
Of that old drive-in left in all of us
Well, nobody moved for what seemed like hours
In slow motion, it came tumbling down
We just stood there with a taste of metal in our mouths
And a silence all around
The day they tore the last drive-in down
And we sang "Goodbye, Saturday" under the stars
"Wake Up Little Susie" in my daddy's car
So many memories got lost and found
When a piece of history hit the ground
The day they tore the last drive-in down
Rolling along in single file, like a slow moving train
It rumbled down out of the mist into the early morning light
Said they'd stay 'til the job was finished if it took 'em 'til midnight
Well, there were cats and scrapers, old caterpillars, packed up by mile high crane
And it looked like monsters from the old B movies the drive-ins used to play
And we sang "Goodbye, Saturday" under the stars
"Wake Up Little Susie" in my daddy's car
So many memories got lost and found
When a piece of history hit the ground
The day they tore the last drive-in down
Memories thick as the smoke clouds they made
Man and machine became one
Boards snapped like toothpicks on their blades
But to us, it sounded like guns
Cowboys, soldiers, gangsters and thieves
James Bond and his golden girls
Well, you could sit in your car and never turn the key
And go halfway around the world
And it stood like a landmark for 40 years
We never thought we'd live to see
It fall to the ground and then just disappear
Like so many childhood dreams
And we sang "Goodbye, Saturday" under the stars
"Wake Up Little Susie" in my daddy's car
So many memories got lost and found
When a piece of history hit the ground
The day they tore the last drive-in down
A lot of the drivers had tears in their eyes
And I don't think it was just the dust
See, I still believe there's just a little piece
Of that old drive-in left in all of us
Well, nobody moved for what seemed like hours
In slow motion, it came tumbling down
We just stood there with a taste of metal in our mouths
And a silence all around
The day they tore the last drive-in down
And we sang "Goodbye, Saturday" under the stars
"Wake Up Little Susie" in my daddy's car
So many memories got lost and found
When a piece of history hit the ground
The day they tore the last drive-in down
