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 the cross on the 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 and her and the holy ghost
Something about us, hell of a rush
Fallin' in love out of nothing, holy smokes

They'd run us off and we'd come runnin' back
Then we'd pick up where we left off the night before
She said would your momma be
If walked in there and you married me
Even if we never made it through, they

Heaven was a preachers spot
In that first church parkin' lot
Her hangin' onto me like the cross on the 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 and her and the holy ghost
Something about us, hell of a rush
Fallin' in love out of nothing, holy smokes

Nothin' about 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 the cross on the 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 and her and the holy ghost
Something about us, hell of a rush
Fallin' in love out of nothing, holy smokes
