Holy Smokes Lyrics

Well, I was only scared of the devil and her dad
So we’d park somewhere we knew they’d never look
No, I never seen nothing like her
Playing with the flame on her momma’s lighter
No, it wasn’t very long ‘fore I was hooked

Heaven was a preacher’s spot in that First Church parking lot
Her hanging on to me like the cross on a rearview does
Her eyes were blue, the words were red
On that half pack of cigarettes
At 17, that’s what hallelujah was
Life wasn’t heavy in the back of that Chevy
Me, her, and the Holy Ghost
Something ’bout us, hell 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 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 preacher’s spot in that First Church parking lot
Her hanging on to me like the cross on a rearview does
Her eyes were blue, the words were red
On that half pack of cigarettes
At 17, that’s what hallelujah was
Life wasn’t heavy in the back of that Chevy
Me, her, and the Holy Ghost
Something ’bout us, hell of a rush
Falling in love, lighting up them holy smokes

Nothing ’bout those nights felt like sinning
And Jesus forgives, but I can’t forget when

Heaven was a preacher’s spot in that First Church parking lot
Her hanging on to me like the cross on a rearview does
Her eyes were blue, the words were red
On that half pack of cigarettes
At 17, that’s what hallelujah was
Life wasn’t heavy in the back of that Chevy
Me, her, and the Holy Ghost
Something ’bout us, hell of a rush
Falling in love, lighting up them holy smokes
