Lyrics

Oh 1, 2, 3, 4... Well we used to get together on a Saturday night Looking for a good time, didn't wanna fight My buddy had a Chevy with a '55 stick Always got the girls 'cause he sure was slick We'd ride cruisin' all over this town Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'd ride, baby we were gettin' around I just got the bad news They're tearin' the drive-in down Shined on the corner, I was ready to roll Out all weekend, we were out of control Neckin' in the back seat, hotter than the screen No one could slow us down, no, not even James Dean We'd ride cruisin' all over this town Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'd ride, baby we were gettin' around Now there's nowhere to go 'Cause they're tearin' the drive-in down Checkin' at the drive-in all night long Runnin' a blast till our fever was strong You let the car hops down with the low top Gee, it felt like heaven just about to pop Read in the newsflash just the other day The man said we're takin' all the memories away Ain't we got a good thing, why can't we let it be? Tear it all down but you can't change me We'd ride cruisin' all over this town Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'd ride, baby we were gettin' around Now we got nowhere to go 'Cause they're tearin' the drive-in down, that's right! Shined on the corner, I was ready to roll Out all weekend and out of control Neckin' in the back seat, hotter than the screen No one could slow us down, no, not even James Dean We'd ride cruisin' all over this town Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'd ride, mama we were gettin' around Now there's nowhere to go 'Cause they're tearin' the drive-in down, look out now Checkin' at the drive-in all night long Runnin' a blast till our fever was strong You let the car hops down with the low top Gee, it felt like heaven just about to pop Read in the newsflash just the other day The man said we're takin' all the memories away Ain't we got a good thing, why can't we let it be? Tear it all down but you can't change me We'd ride cruisin' all over this town That's right, baby, we were gettin' around Now there's nowhere to go 'Cause they're tearin' the drive-in down I just got the bad news They're tearin' the drive-in down
