When the Flood Comes

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
