[Intro - spoken] There's a field out past Atholville nobody looks twice at now But I do, every time I drive by [Verse 1] Straight off the highway exit, hardly slow down Empty lot where the old drive-in used to stand its ground No sign, no screen, just gravel and weeds But I still hear the engines and a radio playing underneath [Pre-Chorus] Rows of cars backed in like pews Headlights off so nobody knew [Chorus] Behind the K-Mart, we watched the screen light up the sky Tinny speaker on the window, some flick we half-watched go by Little brother sleeping in the back before the second feature came through Behind the K-Mart, that's where I fell for you [Verse 2] Ticket man walked the row before you'd pull in Made you pop the trunk, check who was hiding within Half the road knew how to beat it anyway Somebody's cousin folded up, holding his breath 'til we made it past the gate [Verse 3] Popcorn run at intermission, dime in my hand Every car's radio playing that same summer band Now the store got sold, wears a different name Only the screen came down — the field's not the same [Bridge] Funny how a field can hold a hundred nights at once Funny how a sign can outlive its own bones Nothing's marked, nothing's kept, just a gravel square and me Standing where the screen used to be [Pre-Chorus 2] Same field, same stars up above Older now, but it's still love [Chorus 2] Behind the K-Mart, we watched the screen light up the sky Tinny speaker on the window, some flick we half-watched go by Little brother sleeping in the back before the second feature came through Behind the K-Mart, fell for you in my '57 Bel Air [Outro] Behind the K-Mart... behind the K-Mart... Still parked right where you left me In my '57 Bel Air [End]
