Drive-In Movie

Well the phone broke the silence

Like the screaming of a siren

And I just sat beside it

Took another drag on my cigarette

I swore I'd never smoke again

And I watched it rain

I knew that it was you

Calling just to prove that you were strong as you could be

And you get along without me any time, and any way

I just stare through the door screen

Watch the cars come down the pike

Their lights against the sky

Like a Drive-In movie

On a country road

That I seen before

Never like the first time

Blue lights on the dashboard

Songs on the radio-o

And how were you to ever know

How much I loved you so

You thought that I was only dreaming

What a surprise it must have been

To realise I was one of them

Not a king, but just a man

Not an angel

Hardly a friend

And not someone you could believe in

I just stare through the door screen

And watch the cars come down the pike

Their lights against the sky

Like a Drive-In movie

On a country road

That I seen before

Never like the first time

And out across the rugged hills

The dust blows, the wind wails

Sun bleached skulls and empty shells

Broken men with tales to tell

And I would be one of them

And how are we to ever know

How far it's gonna go

You fall in love and that's the road

You travel 'till you can't no more

And then you just turn around again

And I just stare through the door screen

Watch the cars come down the pike

Their lights against the sky

Like a Drive-In movie

On a country road

That I seen before

Never like the first time
