Story Behind The Song

Based on true stories

Lyrics

YOU NEVER RUN OUT OF FIRSTS
© Don Anderson/Lee Johnson

I WAS NINE THE FIRST TIME, I REALLY NOTICED MY MOM'S FACE
STRONG AND KIND WITH EVERY LINE, ETCHED BY GOD'S GRACE
SHE SMILED AT ME AND TOOK MY HAND
SAID SOMEDAY YOU'LL UNDERSTAND
ABOUT HOW MEMORIES ARE MADE...


THERE'LL BE A DANCE OR A KISS OR SOMEONE YOU MISS
THAT BEER YOU'LL STEAL FROM YOUR DAD'S FRIDGE (Grandpa's 2nd x)
THOSE SHOES ON THE STAIRS AS SHE'S COMING DOWN FOR THE PROM
THERE'LL BE A BRAND NEW CAR, A JOB DOWNTOWN
WHEN YOU'RE FALLIN' IN LOVE AND DONE MESSIN' AROUND
YOU'LL TAKE HER HAND, AND SLIP THAT DIAMOND RING ON
IT'S HOW LIFE'S SEEMS TO WORK
YOU NEVER RUN OUT OF FIRSTS


I WAS SIXTEEN, TALL AND LEAN, WHEN I HAD JUST LEARNED TO DRIVE
I PICKED MY GIRL UP IN DAD'S OLD TRUCK, SHE SAT RIGHT BY MY SIDE
BROUGHT HER HOME TO MEET THE FOLKS
INSTEAD OF DAD'S SAME OLD JOKES,
HE SAID "SON JUST TAKE YOUR TIME...


CHORUS THEN BRIDGE:

I TOLD THAT GIRL ONE DAY I'LL MARRY YOU
WE'LL TELL OUR KIDS THERE'S SO MUCH TO LOOK FORWARD TO...


CHORUS, BREAKDOWN THEN BIG, THEN VAMPS OUT
