Popcorn Box |
| «There's a black girl singin' in the morning before church |
| cause she wants things just right |
| There’s a white boy holdin' his head |
| cause he stayed out too late last night |
| At the same time Mamma’s yellin' |
| move your asses or I’ll leave you behind |
| The god lord don’t wait for sinners all day |
| especially sinners of your kind. |
| CHORUS: |
| The old days |
| The old ways of the drive-in picture show. |
| It’s a fact, if it was opened baby, you and me, we’d surely go. |
| The picture rolls by, soundtrack low, but we don’t see a thing. |
| Feel around in the middle of your popcorn box, |
| at the bottom is a diamond ring. |
| (yes) |
| I love you, could you, hold me tight, |
| like we’re pretending it ain’t about black or white. |
| Sun burns hot early in the morning |
| small town, best hush my mouth. |
| We’ve all got closets that we live in. |
| Down at Baker’s house |
| the right fun with the wrong one |
| that’s things we don’t talk about. |
| Hell always seems to rise to the surface |
| on that you can count. |
| CHORUS: |
| The old days |
| The old ways of the drive-in picture show |
| It’s a fact, if it was opened baby, you and me, we’d surely go |
| the picture rolls by, soundtrack low, but we don’t see a thing. |
| Feel around in the middle of your popcorn box, |
| at the bottom is a diamond ring. |
| (yes) |
| I love you, could you, hold me tight, |
| like we’re pretending it ain’t about black or white. |
| Young man makes a young man’s stand, |
| tries to stand up tall. |
| Old man from the same clan |
| bangs his head against the wall. |
| Life’s rough, it just get’s tougher |
| but that ain’t no thing, it’s always one thing |
| or another, let me tell you brother… |
| Shut your mouth boy and sing. |
| CHORUS: |
| The old days |
| The old ways of the drive-in picture show |
| It’s a fact, if it was opened baby, you and me, we’d surely go |
| the picture rolls by, soundtrack low, but we don’t see a thing. |
| Feel around in the middle of your popcorn box, |
| at the bottom is a diamond ring. |
| (yes) |
| I love you, could you, hold me tight, |
| like we’re pretending it ain’t about black or white. |
| I love you, could you, hold me tight, |
| like we’re pretending it ain’t about black or white." |
