My First Show

First Show I ever played I was fourteen years old We had to sell tickets and battle for the chance to record We thought we were the best We couldn't wait to play at The Rocket We'd practice every night, our parents hated it Blaring our punk rock songs of growing up and being best friends We never thought that it would come to an end, I guess it did But I still get the feeling on the back of my neck When I hear what little crowd came to cheer on my band I'd get a real job but I'm too in love with it Thinkin' 'bout the day of the First Show I ever played We were the first ones there the door was still closed Guess some things never change regardless of where you go I just recall seeing the many stairs- so narrow! The anxious wait to play was eating me inside All of my friends and family were there for the big night We hit the stage... I felt my whole world come to light! And I still get the feeling on the back of my neck When I hear what little crowd came to cheer on my band I'd get a real job but I'm too in love with it Thinkin' 'bout the day of the First Show I ever played And I was out of breath by the first chorus Didn't matter- when I looked out Dustin was singin' it And I was drenched in sweat. I jumped into the pit! Never wanted those 20 minutes to end... After the show we heard back the tape Realized we'd played the songs at almost twice their rate Voices cracked, we were off time, and way off key, Oh, But I still got the feeling on the back of my neck When I heard what little crowd came to cheer on my band I had a real job but I quit that shit Back in the day of the First Show I played! And I still get the feeling on the back of my neck When I hear what little crowd came to cheer on my band I'd get a real job but I'm too in love with this Thinkin' 'bout the day of the First Show I ever played The First Show I ever played
