I must have been just shy of eight
My Mom begged Dad to take a break
When she needed to get out…he always gave in
It was after dinner… just gettin’ dark
We cracked the Chevy windows once we parked
In a blacktop lot my parents called the Drive-In
After all these years I realize
When that silver screen lit up
I came alive…

At the movies…
Don’t know where I’d be today
Without the movies…to move me…
Take my sports, take my TV
Just don’t take my flicks from me…
‘Cause right now my favorite place
To be
Is at the movies….
Bacall, Bogie, Janet Leigh
Morgan Freeman, Sandra Dee
Al Pacino, Meryl Streep
…Denzel, Omar Sharif
Marlon Brando, Sidney Poitier
They take my breath away…

I’ve come a long way from that drive-in lot
Our strugglin’ world’s in quite a spot
But where there’s motion pictures, there’s still hope
I can’t see your smile today
And it’s hard to love six feet away
Til I can, I’ll find a way to cope
Though some of us might sometimes feel deprived
When that screen lights up
I still come alive…

At the movies…
Don’t know where I’d be today
Without the movies, to move me…
Take my sports, take my TV
Just don’t take Netflicks from me…
Cause right now my favorite place
to be
Is watching movies….
Bacall, Bogie, Janet Leigh
Morgan Freeman, Sandra Dee
Al Pacino, Meryl Streep
…Denzel, Omar Sharif
Marlon Brando, Sidney Poitier
They take my breath away…

I endure…I can dream
Long as I can see that silver screen

At the movies…
Don’t know where I’d be today
Without the movies, to move me…
Take all of my beach holidays
Just don’t take my Netflicks away…
Cause right now my favorite place
To be
Is watching movies….
Bacall, Bogie, Janet Leigh
Morgan Freeman, Sandra Dee
Al Pacino, Meryl Streep
…Denzel, Omar Sharif
Marlon Brando, Sidney Poitier
They take, take, take, take, take my breath away…
John Wayne, James Dean
Marilyn Monroe, Steve McQueen
They’re up there on that silver screen…
At the movies…
