[Intro β bright synth + piano stabs] We were young, we were wild, Chasing magic for a little while. Headlights glowing like a silver crown, Friday nights in a oneβstop town. [Verse 1] Pullinβ up slow in a beatβup ride, Windows down with the summer inside. Popcorn dreams in a paper cup, Every heartbeat sayinβ turn it up. Projector light on our faces bright, We were kings of the screen in the velvet night. Didnβt need much, just a place to beginβ Yeah, we ruled those nights at the driveβin. [PreβChorus] Oh, the world felt wide and waiting, Every moment ours for the taking. We were louder than the stars above, Burning gasoline and young love. [Chorus β big harmonies, soaring falsetto accents] βCause we were Kings of the DriveβIn, Runninβ on fire and freedom. Every song on the radio Felt like it was made to lead us. Oh, we were Kings of the DriveβIn, Hearts lit up like the silver screen. Living fast in the glow of the night, Chasing down an 80s dream. [Verse 2] Leather jackets in the summer heat, Sneakers tapping to the movie beat. Laughing loud like we owned the sky, Never once thinking time could fly. Your hand in mine as the credits rolled, Two young hearts too bright to hold. Didnβt know then what the years would spinβ But we lived like kings at the driveβin. [PreβChorus 2] Oh, the world felt wide and waiting, Every moment ours for the taking. We were louder than the stars above, Burning gasoline and young love. [Chorus β fuller, more dramatic] βCause we were Kings of the DriveβIn, Runninβ on fire and freedom. Every song on the radio Felt like it was made to lead us. Oh, we were Kings of the DriveβIn, Hearts lit up like the silver screen. Living fast in the glow of the night, Chasing down an 80s dream. [Bridge β theatrical, piano + layered vocals] Hold on to the nights that shaped us, The moments that remade us. We didnβt know it thenβ But we were legends in the making. Hold on to the laughter and the lights, The way the world felt right. We were youngβ¦ And we were shining. [Final Chorus β huge, triumphant] We were Kings of the DriveβIn, Runninβ on fire and freedom. Every song on the radio Felt like it was made to lead us. Oh, we were Kings of the DriveβIn, Hearts lit up like the silver screen. Living fast in the glow of the night, Chasing down an 80s dream. Yeah, we were kingsβ¦ Kings of the driveβin scene.
