First One in the Car

You're gonna break somebody's heart, that's true

And someone's gonna break yours, too

You'll laugh in the middle of gettin' it done

And having it done to you

Oh, I see the neck of the driver there behind the wheel

You're lookin' at me in the side view mirror

You're changin' your clothes, in the back seat you slip

From a girl to a woman in less than a minute

As we roll from the city under the stars

And go on down the boulevard

I say "May God be the first one in the car

May He be the last one out of ours"

Moonlight shinin' on a Lincoln's hood

Full of smoke and your perfume

You're thinkin' you might, and I was hoping you would

Do just what your mother doesn't think you should

Now past the building where your father works

And the topless bars and the church

I ain't superstitious, but it's making me nervous

Now shouldn't we at least say something first?

As we roll from the city under the stars

And go on down the boulevard

I say "May God be the first one in the car

May He be the last one out of ours"

As we come down from wishin'

This city would start making use of our open arms

I say "May God be the first one in the car

May He be the last one out of ours"

Onto the off ramp, my coat around you

But may love be down there and ride with us, too

I'd be happy to die with you here doing this

The impression of my face down on your lips

As we roll from the city under the stars

And go on down the boulevard

I say "May God be the first one in the car

May He be the last one out of ours"

As we come down from wishin'

This city would stop making use of these open hearts

I say "May God be the first one in the car

May He be the last one out of ours"

The last one out of ours, the last one out of ours

And may God be the last one to get out of ours

Ooh, ooh, oooh

Ooh, ooh, oooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh, oooh

Ooh, ooh, oooh
