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 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
|
I just stare through the door screen
|
And watch the cars come down the pike
|
There 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
|
