The phone broke the silence
Like the screaming 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 rain.
Well I knew that it was you
Callen’ just to prove
That you were as strong as you could be
And you could get along without me anytime
And anyway

(chorus)
So I just stared through the door screen
And I watched 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
But never like the first time

Blue lights on the dash board
Songs on the radio
And how were you to ever know
How much I loved you
So I thought that I was only dreamen’
What a surprise it must have been
To realize I was one of them
Not a king with just his men
Not an angel
Only a friend
And not someone
That you could believe in

(chorus)

And out across the rugged hills
The dust blows the wind whails
Sun bleached clothes and empty shells
Broken men with tails to tell
And I would be one of them
And how were you to ever know
Just how far it was going to go
You fall in love and that’s the road you travel
Till you can’t no more
And then ya just
Ya turn around again.

(chorus)
