"Get There First" lyrics

(Oh)
(Oh)

There ain't too many 2 AM backroads
That I ain't drove on drunk
There's a trail of hell behind my truck
That I just can't outrun
They're cursin' her name, the man I became
And the flame that's done burnt out
Heard there's a place out there for guys like me
But demons are chasin' me south

Yeah, I gotta get there first
Before they build a wall I can't knock down
If I'm gonna make this work
I gotta cover miles on this ground
I can see the light at the end of the bottle
Drinkin' my way through the end of this trouble
I'll let the past be the past and the worst be the worst
But all I know is I gotta get there first

(Oh)

If the water run fast enough to flush these pills
They wouldn't be on the counter
If this whiskey glass could hold anything more
It'd be enough to drown her
But, oh
I'll take more
And, oh
I gotta get myself off the floor

But I gotta get there first
Before they build a wall I can't knock down
If I'm gonna make this work
I gotta cover miles on this ground
I can see the light at the end of the bottle
Drinkin' my way through the end of this trouble
I'll let the past be the past and the worst be the worst
But all I know is I gotta get there first

Gotta get there first
(Oh)
Get there first
(Oh)

Yeah, I gotta get there first
Before they build a wall I can't knock down
If I'm even gonna make this work
I gotta cover miles on this ground
I can see the light at the end of the bottle
Drinkin' my way through the end of this trouble
I'll let the past be the past and the worst be the worst
But all I know is I gotta get there first

(Oh)
Gotta get there first
(Oh)
Get there first
