First Your Money (then Your Clothes) Lyrics - Jude Cole

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, pull over 

So Romeo in a GTO 

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 

Then you 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

Slow down, slow down now 

Oh, yeah, hey, slow down, slow down 

Slow down, just low down

'Cause I'm low down now"
