Lyrics

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
Bought a beat up Ford from my old friend Jack
It was a V8 '71
Ragged for a gas cap, radio blasting
Blowing down the highway singing "Born to Run"
We were singing "Born to Run"
Watching Bandit at the drive-in
Had the news on the TV
Some old rhinestone outlaw
Singing "Wailing and Wailing at Me"
Driving out to the lake
And drinking a little beer
Feeling my heart break
As I watched them disappear
As they disappeared
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
But oh man I loved that rodeo queen
I just, 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 old lonesome picker
Singing "You Are Your 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 it long and loud
Sing the blues down low
Should I stay or should I go
I can recall the countless times
I tried to leave this town
And ran smack into some homesick hit
When it 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 for me
And they tore down the drive-in
Nothing good on the TV
There's a brand new Howard Johnson's
Where the Sundown used to be
I still drive to the lake
And drink me a little beer
And feeling my heart break
As I watch this disappear
It just disappears
