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
