I’ve listened to enough country rock to think I have to attempt its easy rollin’ style. It is more down the line than alt country or cowpunk but precedes them in suggesting ways to move from trad country.

One aspect of country life for me growing up was the way that the local drive-in was the place to go. This has vanished now but it doesn’t make the time any less real and plucking an event or object from the past to use for a song is legitimate.

So here’s my country rock contribution

Who was that at the Drive-in?

Valiants aod Ford thinkers
Lined up next to speakers
This was the place to have been
When God still saved the Queen

In blankets in the back seat
with no chance to repeat
deal with dialogue as it descends

Intermission meant a mission out to the canteen
with rest pause inbetween
placed behind parents with our pillows
for the following feature 

Oblivious to the blind gropings of starting couples
occuring in other cars
Not across in front behind
no reason to remind

Who was that at the drive-in
last night
Who viewed the founding of legend
under the stars and moonlight
Who was that arriving
 late
forgetting to replace on the stand
