First Your Money Then Your Clothes lyrics

I left home on a southbound train
One September in the pouring rain
A midnight flyer and a girl named Lori Rose
Mama said, son it won`t last
She`ll be gone when you`re out of cash
Hey mama, I need a ride back home

All your life you run to love
You give your heart then it`s not enough
But hey baby, that`s the way it goes

So Romeo in a G.T.O.
Met Juliette at the drive-in show
Midnight dreaming down the Texas coast
We stopped to wish upon a star
She stole my breath, she stole my car
But hey baby, it`s just the way it goes

Every time that your heart breaks
You swear you won`t make the same mistakes
But hey baby, that`s the way it goes
First your money, then your clothes

Oh no, love ain`t cheap
There`s a toll booth up on Lover`s Leap
Sweet romance, take a chance
Come and dance with me

I`m riding out on a southbound train
Just a Romeo in the pouring rain
But hey baby, that`s the way it goes
First your money, then your clothes
Uh-huh

Slow down, slow down now
(Oh yeah)
Hey mom, slow down
(Slow down)
When you roll out, `cause I`m low down now
(Oh yeah)
Said hey hey mom, slow down when you roll down
`Cause I`m low down now
