1
"There's a black girl singin' in the morning before church
2
cause she wants things just right
3
There's a white boy holdin' his head
4
cause he stayed out too late last night
5
At the same time Mamma's yellin'
6
move your asses or I'll leave you behind
7
The god lord don't wait for sinners all day
8
especially sinners of your kind.
9
CHORUS:
10
The old days
11
The old ways of the drive-in picture show.
12
It's a fact, if it was opened baby, you and me, we'd surely go.
13
The picture rolls by, soundtrack low, but we don't see a thing.
14
Feel around in the middle of your popcorn box,
15
at the bottom is a diamond ring. (yes)
16
I love you, could you, hold me tight,
17
like we're pretending it ain't about black or white.
18
Sun burns hot early in the morning
19
small town, best hush my mouth.
20
We've all got closets that we live in.
21
Down at Baker's house
22
the right fun with the wrong one
23
that's things we don't talk about.
24
Hell always seems to rise to the surface
25
on that you can count.
26
CHORUS:
27
The old days
28
The old ways of the drive-in picture show
29
It's a fact, if it was opened baby, you and me, we'd surely go
30
the picture rolls by, soundtrack low, but we don't see a thing.
31
Feel around in the middle of your popcorn box,
32
at the bottom is a diamond ring. (yes)
33
I love you, could you, hold me tight,
34
like we're pretending it ain't about black or white.
35
Young man makes a young man's stand,
36
tries to stand up tall.
37
Old man from the same clan
38
bangs his head against the wall.
39
Life's rough, it just get's tougher
40
but that ain't no thing, it's always one thing
41
or another, let me tell you brother....
42
Shut your mouth boy and sing.
43
CHORUS:
44
The old days
45
The old ways of the drive-in picture show
46
It's a fact, if it was opened baby, you and me, we'd surely go
47
the picture rolls by, soundtrack low, but we don't see a thing.
48
Feel around in the middle of your popcorn box,
49
at the bottom is a diamond ring. (yes)
50
I love you, could you, hold me tight,
51
like we're pretending it ain't about black or white.
52
I love you, could you, hold me tight,
53
like we're pretending it ain't about black or white."
