Skyway Drive-In - Shane Alexander

Skyway drive in by your grandma's house

Used to be all they talked about

It's been gone such a long time now

Whatever happened to the Tanglewood

Where our first dance made us feel so good

Ache in my chest when I saw you in your dress

We had small town in our bloodstreams

Wild horses in our hearts

It hurts like hell when first love falls apart

Your father gave his life to Armco Steel

He'd take his rifle out in Nelson's field

Sometimes I wonder if he's out there still

He had small town in his bloodstream

Wild horses in his heart

Never liked me much right from the start

Maybe those winters got too goddamned cold

They'd come around make me feel so old

Just fifteen with an ancient soul

Mmm I always wanted so much else from life

To head out west find a west coast wife

I did my time with that small town strife

Late at night I still see those faces

No matter how much the time erases

I'm goin' back I'm gonna see those places again

'Cuz I've got small town in my bloodstream

Wild horses in my heart and no one knows you

Like those from your start

If you've got small town in your bloodstream

Then you know it's all the truth

There ain't no better way to waste your youth
