For The First Time

I been living like a drunken sailor, playing in a rock 'n' roll band
Far from a failure, I feel like a brand new man
Smoking like a fiend and scheming, dealing with the upper hand
It's been so long since I felt this good, goddamnI'm finally standing tall, I feel I just can't fall
Your love takes me to a higher place
For the first time in a long time I'm done paying my dues
For the first time in a long time I don't feel usedLet's go out honky tonking, dancing till the morning light
The time is now and this time I feel all rightI'm finally standing tall, I feel I just can't fall
Your love takes me to a higher place
For the first time in a long time I don't stand accused
For the first time in a long time I feel brand newLife's been kind, water tastes like wine
I feel so high like I'm on cloud nineFor the first time in a long time
For the first time in a long time
For the first time in a long time
For the first time in a long time
