Lyrics of 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, goddamn

I'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 used

Let's go out honky tonking, dancing till the morning light
The time is now and this time i feel all right

I'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 new

Life's been kind, water tastes like wine
I feel so high like i'm on cloud nine

For 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
