Out on the highway

His hands on the big wheel

Thinking of his one chance

When it’ll come how it’ll feel

Headlights brighter

Crowding out the night sky

A laugh to his lips

Both hands to his eyes

When the flood comes

He’ll be the first one

When the flood comes

He’ll be the first, first one to sing

The nurse on the late shift

Every night just like this

Thinking of that one dance

In his arms that one kiss

A quarter after midnight

Leans over the old man

With a joy in her heart

And a needle in her hand

When the flood comes

She’ll be the first one

When the flood comes

She’ll be the first, first one to sing

When the flood comes

They’ll be the first ones

When the flood comes

They’ll be the first

First ones to sing, first ones to sing

First ones to sing, first ones to sing

In the rain
