Lyrics:
or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happenin' again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved
Jim was born the first year we were here
look at him, my god, he's almost grown
And the baby's in the cradle fast asleep
just think, in no time
before
Watched broken hearts break
Through that door a time or two
And I'll bet he packed all his things
You set out to curse his name and have a few
Jim Reed by the dark of the moon
And your son Ed was blowed down in a drunken saloon
Then there was Bob Younger, you loved him so well
He rode with
And your Blue Duck's no longer alive
You took Jim Reed to your warm wedding bed
And from out of your love was born the boy, Ed
A pal killed Jim Reed by
All in all you been there for me; you showed me things I would never see
I think I'm ready
By my side you been waiting respectfully and oh-so
adored by the one who first led my heart astray,
I'm adored, absolutely adored,
What a wonderful thing to be able to say.
So ring out the bells,
Little by little, step by step
Slowly but surely we fell in love
How did it happen, it's easy to see
We didn't rush things ,we loved progressively
to hear a thing I say or do
Then I know there's nothing I can do for you
This ain't my first rodeo
This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been
and the future meet
But I fin'lly got my first good look
A little fire was all it too
An' as the flames grew brighter
I saw everything that I'd missed
Once
to hear or see a thing I say or do,
Then I know there's nothing I can do for you.
This ain't my first rodeo.
This ain't the first time this old
And the first kiss on my lover's mouth
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
Did you get married
Or did you wait?
Did you ever build that house
Down by the lake?
First things first
I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh
The way that things have
Oh yeah, Feds hit the spot on the first
12 lost two when it hurt (goddamn)
Oh yeah, caught a cell charge, made bail
Then I went and bought me
a thing
Came from the streets, headed to the hall of fame
And I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
Stunting, stunting like I got my first
me go first, go 'head)
Alright, let Alwatta go by herself
Okay, then we gon' take turns
Alright
Strawberry shortcake, cream on top
Tell me
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
I was the first one fuckin' that bitch
I was the first one hittin' that shit
I was
the words for what they are
A dwindling, mercurial high
A drug that only worked
The first few hundred times
And that's the thing about illicit affairs
back to the things you used to say
Didn't they put you on a pedestal
When first you met?
Sure was some honeymoon
Ain't it hard to forget
matter the trial
I'll get by 'cause I know there's an answer
Somewhere in your smile
Now that there's you
I can reach that mountain top
'Til I get
like the first time
remembering the memories (I remember, I remember)
Ain't nothing like the first time (ok)
or how things used to be (how they used
back to the things you used to say
Didn't they put you on a pedestal
When first you met?
Sure was some honeymoon
Ain't it hard to forget
Poet and musician sing the same old tune
To the sweethearts that come and go
Let your intuition aided by the moon
Tell you little things the poet
Poet and musician sing the same old tune
To the sweethearts that come and go
Let your intuition aided by the moon
Tell you little things the poet
