Fred Eaglesmith - Drive In Movie Lyrics
Well the phone broke the silenceLike the screaming of a sirenAnd I just sat beside itTook another drag on my cigaretteI swore I'd never smoke again And I watched it rainI knew that it was youCalling just to prove that you were strong as you could beAnd you get along without me any time and any wayI just stare through the door screen Watch the cars come down the pikeTheir lights against the skyLike a Drive-In movieOn a country road That I seen beforeNever like the first timeBlue lights on the dashboardSongs on the radio-oAnd how were you to ever knowHow much I loved you soYou thought that I was only dreamingWhat a surprise it must have beenTo realize I was one of themNot a king, but just a manNot an angel Hardly a friendAnd not someone you could believe inI just stare through the door screen And watch the cars come down the pikeThere lights against the skyLike a Drive-In movieOn a country road That I seen beforeNever like the first timeAnd out across the rugged hillsThe dust blows, the wind wailsSun bleached skulls and empty shellsBroken men with tales to tellAnd I would be one of themAnd how are we to ever know how far it's gonna goYou fall in love and that's the roadYou travel till you can't no moreAnd then you just turn around againAnd I just stare through the door screenWatch the cars come down the pike Their lights against the skyLike a Drive-In movie On a country road That I seen beforeNever like the first time
