Well, I was only scared of the devil and her dad
+
So we parked somewhere we knew they'd never look
+
Naw, I've never seen nothing like her
+
Playin' with the flame of her momma's lighter
+
Naw, it wasn't very long 'fore I was hooked
+
Heaven was a preachers spot
+
In that first church parkin' lot
+
Her hangin' onto me like a cross on a rearview 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 and the holy ghost
+
Something about us, hell of a rush
+
Fallin' in love like nothing, holy smokes
+
They'd run us off but we'd come runnin' back
+
And we'd pick up where we left off the night before
+
She said, "How pissed off would your momma be
+
If we walked in there and you married me?"
+
Even if we never made it through them old wood doors
+
Heaven was a preachers spot
+
In that first church parkin' lot
+
Her hangin' onto me like a cross on a rearview 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 and the holy ghost
+
Something about us, hell of a rush
+
Fallin' in love like nothing, holy smokes
+
Nothin' 'bout those nights felt like sinnin'
+
Jesus forgives but I can't forget when
+
Heaven was a preachers spot
+
In that first church parkin' lot
+
Her hangin' onto me like a cross on a rearview 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 and the holy ghost
+
Something about us, hell of a rush
+
Fallin' in love like nothing, holy smokes
