Jude Cole First Your Money (then Your Clothes)
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
