Select language to translate this lyric
out on the highway
his hands on the big wheel
thinking of his one chance
when it ll come how it ll feel
headlights brighter
crowding out the night sky
a laugh to his lips
both hands to his eyes
when the flood comes
he ll be the first one
when the flood comes
he ll be the first, first one to sing
the nurse on the late shift
every night just like this
thinking of that one dance
in his arms that one kiss
a quarter after midnight
leans over the old man
with a joy in her heart
and a needle in her hand
when the flood comes
she ll be the first one
when the flood comes
she ll be the first, first one to sing
when the flood comes
they ll be the first ones
when the flood comes
they ll be the first
first ones to sing, first ones to sing
first ones to sing, first ones to sing
in the rain
