"The First And Last Time" lyrics
Shaver Lyrics
"The First And Last Time"
The very first time I fell in love
Was the first and last time for me
Air and the moon, and the stars up above
How could I be so naive?
Of all the hard lessons I've learned in my life
The one that stays closest to me
Is I was in love, but she didn't love me
I was too blind to see
She was a wonderful dancer
She glided in and out of my door
I was just one of her partners
The one who kept begging for more
Now love doesn't come with a handle you turn
Love can't be turned off and on
So you roll with the punches and laugh while it's sad
And cryin' until your bear wing is gone
The very first time she said goodbye
Was the last time she cared for me
She still comes around, to rattle my chains
To make sure that I'm never free
And she is still a wonderful dancer
Sometimes she glides through my door
I used to be one of her partners
The one who's still begin' for more
The very first time I fell in love
Was the first and last time for me

And I've...

She woke up sunny side down and I was still thinking I was too proud to flip her over
Between the champagne hand...
Jason Eady - "AM Country Heaven" Well, they sing about Jesus, they sing about Jones
And they sing of American pride
But they're all too damn clean, polished like stones
And they won't sing about cheatin' and lies
Well, I remember...
Shooter Jennings - "Walk Of Life" Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lua, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah,...
Hayes Carll - "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" When I'm lyin' in my bed at night, I don't wanna grow up
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right, I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog that's always changing things
Makes me wish that...
