I bought a 69 mustang when I was 16

Felt like the neighborhood James Dean

Soon as the pedal hit the floor

I wanted more

Kinda like that first kiss in the back of the bus

Stoned out of my mind on young love

Holding hands walking in school doors

I had never felt that way before

Ahhh

Still remember the rush, from that sip I stole from daddy’s booze

Ahhh

That was forever ago, I wish I woulda known

It’s the high that you never stop chasing

And the hell you hope you never feel again

The kinda memory that gets your heart racing

And marks you like a needle on your skin

It’s a blessing and curse

Yeah you live and you learn

Try to find it twice but it never works

Oh

Nothing feels like the first

Funny how heartbreak

Will have you cussing love’s name

Just to lead you to that last first date

Money down on a first house to picking out first names

For kids who’ll have to learn the hard way

It’s the high that you never stop chasing

And the hell you hope you never feel again

The kinda memory that gets your heart racing

And marks you like a needle on your skin

It’s a blessing and curse

Yeah you live and you learn

Try to find it twice but it never works

Oh

Nothing feels like the first

First time you taste that smoke on your lips

First family dog that you still miss

First time on your own, first time you go broke

First time you gotta let her go

It’s the high that you never stop chasing

And the hell you hope you never feel again

The kinda memory that gets your heart racing

And marks you like a needle on your skin

It’s a blessing and curse

Yeah you live and you learn

Try to find it twice but it never works

Oh

Nothing feels like the first

Like the first a second time

Oh

We live and we learn

Nothing feels like the first
