Fred Eaglesmith - Drive-In Movie lyrics

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
