It's All in the Movies Lyrics

by 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.
That's all in the movies, it won't happen to us, I know.
That's all in the movies, just a bad picture show.

Instrumental break.

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.
That's all in the movies, it can't happen to us, I know.
That's all in the movies, just a bad picture show.

Instrumental fade out.
