Love’s First Flush (Went Down the Drain) V1 Drove my daddy’s F-one-fifty Into Gassaway last night Pulled in at the dance hall Knew I looked all right Had my rodeo buckle gleamin’ My new Loconas shined Greenbacks in my wallet I was fixin’ to unwind Chorus Now I’m a country boy And I easily blush But I’m nearly nineteen And I can’t help but dream About love’s first flush V2 The dance floor it was shakin’ And the band was in a fever When suddenly I saw that girl Reflected in the mirror My heart was buckin’ in my chest AS I joined her at the bar Could see she liked the way I said I’d watched her from afar Chorus Now I’m a country boy And I easily blush But I’m nearly nineteen And I can’t help but dream About love’s first flush V3 She kept on lookin’ round her But was playin’ with my hand Whisperin’ the kind of things Had me feelin’ like a man But when I turned to pay the tab Someone else had caught her eye Never gave [me] a backward glance As she left with another guy Bridge Well, I’m back where I started In my daddy’s F-one-fifty My heart’s been brokeN inTO pieces That girl was mighty shifty Ain’t goin’ through this misery again Love’s first flush went down the drain Chorus Now I’m a country boy And I easily blush But I’m nearly nineteen And I can’t help but dream About love’s first flush © 2011 Donna Devine
