First One in the Car

You're going to break somebody's heart that's true

And someone's gonna break yours too

You'll laugh in the middle of getting it done

And having it done to you

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

You're looking at me in the side view mirror

You're changing your clothes

In the backseat 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

Say may God be the first one in the car

May he be the last one out of ours

Moonlight shining on a Lincoln's hood

Full of smoke and your perfume

If you're thinking you might

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

Say may God be the first one in the car

May he be the last one out of ours

As we come down from wishing

The city will start making use of our open arms

Say may God be the first one in the car

May he be the last one out of ours

On to the off-ramp with my coat around you

May love be down there and ride with us too

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

Say may God be the first one in the car

May he be the last one out of ours

And as we come down from wishing

The city will stop making use of these open hearts

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

May God be the last one to get out of ours
