We've been three across in this
Pickup truck since I can't remember when
Me at the wheel and the woman I love holding hands with my best friend
I bought a beat up Ford from my old friend Jack, it was a V8 '71
Rag for a gas cap a radio blastin'
Blowing down the highway singin' Born to Run
We were singin' Born to Run
Watchin' Bandit at the drive-in
Had the Dukes on the TV
Some 'ol Rhinestone Outlaw singing Waylon, Willie and Me
Driving out to the lake and drinking a little beer
Feeling my heart break as I watch them disappear
As they disappear
Now Charlie he was a great looking guy, man
He always was a star
Me, I was always kinda quiet and shy
With all the charm of an offensive guard
Aw man, I loved that Rodeo Queen
I figured what's the use
One of those triangular scenes
Where you find yourself the hypotenuse.
And you figure what's the use
Watching Gator at the drive-in.
Bo and Luke on the TV
Some ole lonesome picker singing July A Woman To Me
Driving out to the lake and knocking us back a few
Feeling my heart break as I wonder what to do
What to do
Turn up that radio
Play long and loud sing the blues down low
Should I stay or should I go?
I can't recall the countless times I tried to leave this town
Ran smack into some homesick headwind
That slapped me in the face and turned me back around
We're still three across in this pickup truck
And I guess we always will
All for one and one for three
Her for him and what's left of me
And they tore down the drive-in
Nothing good on the TV
There's a brand new Howard Johnson where the Sundown used to be
I still drive to the lake and drink me a little beer
Feeling my heart break as I watch this disappear
It just disappeared
