Well I was only scared of the devil and her dad
So we parked somewhere we knew they'd never look
Now I'd never seen nothing like her Playing
with the flame on her mama's lighter
And it all wasn't very long before I was hooked
Heaven was the preacher's spot in that first church parking lot
Her hanging on to me like the cross on a rear view does
Her eyes were blue,
the words were red on that half pack of cigarettes
At seventeen that's what hallelujah was
Life wasn't heavy in the back of that Chevy
Me,
her,
the Holy Ghost Something about us,
of a rush
Falling in love, lighting up them holy smokes
They'd run us off but we'd come running back
And we'd pick up where we left off the night
before
She said, how f***ed off would your mama be
If we walked in there and you married me
Even if we never made it through them old
wood doors Heaven was the preacher's spot in that first
church parking lot Her hanging on to me like the cross on a rear
view does Her eyes were blue,
the words were red on
that half pack of cigarettes At seventeen that's what hallelujah was
Life wasn't heavy in the back of that Chevy Me,
her,
the Holy Ghost
Something about us,
of a rush Falling in love,
lighting up them holy smokes
Nothing
like those nights felt like sinning
And Jesus forgives but I can't forget when
Heaven was the preacher's spot in that first
church parking lot Her hanging on to me like
the cross on a rear view does Her eyes were blue,
the words were red on that half pack of cigarettes
At seventeen that's what hallelujah was Life
wasn't heavy in the back of that Chevy Me,
her,
the Holy Ghost
Something about us,
of a rush Falling in love,
lighting up them holy smokes
