(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 got 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.

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...
