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.      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 doorscreen   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 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      And out across the rugged hills   The dust blows and the wind wails   Sunbleached 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.      CHORUS
