Drive In Movie Lyrics

The phone broke the silence
Like the screamin' of a siren
And I just sat beside it
Took another drag on my cigarette
Swore I'd never smoke again
And I watched it ring.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e65741-catherine_britt~drive_in_movie_lyrics.html ]
Well I knew that it was you
Callin' just to prove that
You were strong as you could be
And you could get along without me
Anytime and anyway

So I just stare through the door-screen
And I'd watch the cars come down the pike
Their lights against the sky
Like a drive-in movie
On a country road
That I've seen before
Never like the first time.

Blue lights on the dashboard
Songs on the radio
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 realize 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

And out across the rugged hills
The dust blows and the wind wails
Sun-bleached skulls and empty shells
Broken men with tales to tell
And I would be
One of them.

And how were you to ever know
How far it was gonna go
You fall in love and that's the road
You travel till you can't no more
And then you just
Well you turn around again.

Well I just stare through the door-screen
And I'd watch the cars come down the pike
Their lights against the sky
Like a drive-in movie
On a country road
That I've seen before
Never like the first time.
