Lyrics

First Things First
Written by Thomas Michael Riley

First things first; my daddy told me just pick one;
Out of everything this whole world can bring;
But I?d have to learn, ?cause it?s different for everyone;
But for everyone it can only be one thing;

If I?d?ve chose music; I?d prob?ly be a star;
If I would?ve picked whiskey; I?d own this bar;
And if being a business man was all I wanted to do;
By now I?d be a millionaire; but I chose you.

It simple, but some people complicate it;
they struggle but they?ll never get it right;
?Cause I?ve seen some folks, thinking they?ve really made it;
But making a living?s not the same as making a life.

If I?d?ve chose music; I?d prob?ly be a star;
If I would?ve picked whiskey; I?d own this bar;
And if being a business man was all I wanted to do;
By now I?d be a millionaire; but I chose you.
