Lyrics
Drove down to the theater not too long ago
I paid for my ticket went in and watched the show
And I realized much later only after I had gone that
They always end the movie with a song
Then I got to thinking how my life has always been
Almost like a real life motion picture I've been in
There were times I played the hero there've been times when I was wrong
But They always end the movie with a song
(bridge)
Now I see that I was always the director
I just wish I would have known I had that part
Well I'm wondering who is running the projector
Because I wouldn't mind a rerun from the start
Now that I have acted all the scenes I had to play
The story's almost over and the camera fades away
Oh the band begins to play now as the curtain's being drawn because
They always end the movie with a song yes they do
They always end the movie with a song it's true yeah
They always end the movie with a song me too
They always end the movie with a song it's true
