Country western swing is on the radio,
But the dance hall's closed so I'm going to the drive-in show,
My money don't go far but there's a full moon out tonight,
And in the front row a girl who thinks I'm kinda nice,
She's got a big old Chevy, I've got a little Ford,
But I'll meet her at the Dairy Queen in just a little while,
And we'll cruise the boulevard just as soon as it's dark,
And I'm gonna get liquored up tonight.
[Chorus]
You know she was a looker, and I wasn't no fool,
And my heart was beating in time to the rock 'n' roll,
We drove out to the desert and we made out for a while,
Then she took my money, and she said she had to go.
If that ain't the way it goes, that ain't the way it goes,
Well, it ain't the way it goes at all.
I drove home real slow, and I made it through the night,
And I dreamed about her 'til the morning light.
I went to where we parked, but there was no sign of her,
All that was left was a few old Miller High Life cans.
[Chorus]
You know she was a looker, and I wasn't no fool,
And my heart was beating in time to the rock 'n' roll,
We drove out to the desert and we made out for a while,
Then she took my money, and she said she had to go.
If that ain't the way it goes, that ain't the way it goes,
Well, it ain't the way it goes at all.
I'll never forget her though, I just forget her name.
I never get her off my mind, but her face stays the same.
Some nights I lie awake, and I think of her a lot.
I'm kinda glad I never found her, 'cause she got me liquored up.
[Chorus]
You know she was a looker, and I wasn't no fool,
And my heart was beating in time to the rock 'n' roll,
We drove out to the desert and we made out for a while,
Then she took my money, and she said she had to go.
If that ain't the way it goes, that ain't the way it goes,
Well, it ain't the way it goes at all.
