G Caravan of C yellow wire, G and crawling across the D plains 
G Rolling along in a C single file, G like a slow moving C train 
G It rumbled down C out of the mist, G into the early morning D light 
G Said they stay 'til the C job was finished, G if it took them 'til  
C midnight 
G There were cats & scrapers all C caterpillars, G packed up by mile  
high D crane 
G And it looked like monsters from C the old b movies, G the drive-ins  
use to C play 
 
And we'd sang G good bye Saturday C under the stars 
G Wake up little Suzy in my daddy's D car 
G So many memories got C lost and found 
G When a piece of history C hit the ground 
G The day they tore the C last drive-in G down 
 
G Memories thick as the C smoke clouds they made, G man and machine  
became D one 
G Boards snapped like toothpicks C on their blades, G but to us it  
sounded like C guns 
G Cowboys, soldiers, C gangsters, and thieves, G James Bond and his  
golden D girls 
G Well you could sit in your car and C never turn the key, and go G  
half way around the C world 
G And it stood like a landmark for C forty years, we never G thought  
we'd live to D see 
G It fall it to the ground and then just C disappear, like G so many  
childhood C dreams 
(repeat chorus) 
 
bridge: 
G 1 strum} A lot of the drivers had tears in their C 1 strum} eyes, G 1  
strum} but I don't think it was just the C 1 strum} dust 
G 1 strum} See I still believe there's a little piece of C 1 strum} that  
old drive-in left in all of G 1 strum} us 
 
G Nobody moved through what C seemed like hours, and slow G motion it  
came tumbling D down 
G We just stood there with a taste of metal in our C mouths and a G  
silence all C around 
The day they tore the D 1 strum} last drive-in G 1 strum} down 
(repeat chorus)
