For the First Time

Dad said take it easy

Son, hands on ten and two

So I drove that truck as safe as I could

Down the road in my neighborhood

But when I got my license

I rolled the windows down

Sun in my face and wind in my hair

And I took her straight through town

There are moments in our lives that stand the test of time

Little now and thens that seem to stop us on dime

Blink and you'll miss the things that you've been living for

Something that you've never done before

For the first time

Yeah, I got there early with my guitar

And a microphone

To play my songs for all them folks

In a little cafe show

And when I finally kicked off

I floated two feet off the floor

That right there was a first-time feeling

That I never had before

There are moments in our lives that stand the test of time

Little now and thens that seem to stop us on dime

Blink and you'll miss the things that you've been living for

Something that you've never done before

For the first time

Dropping her off at twenty-three

On her front porch looking up

I couldn't hide from her brown eyes

And I told her I'm in love

And when she looked back

She was halfway through the door

She said I love you too

Right then and there

I couldn't ask for nothin more

There are moments in our lives that stand the test of time

Little now and thens that seem to stop us on dime

Blink and you'll miss the things that you've been living for

Something that you've never done before

For the first time
