it s all in the movies

Merle Haggard

They were so much in love with life, happy every way.
But love the movie began with, some how got lost in the play.
Like a fire burning out of control,
You go caught up in the actor s role,
And you cried on my shoulder when it came to an end.

But that s all in the movies,
It won t happen to you and I.
That s all in the movies; so baby don t cry.
It s all in the movies,
It won t happen to us I know.
That s all in the movies,
Just a bad picture how.
