For The First Time (In A Long Time)

I been livin' like a drunken sailor

Playin' in a rock 'n roll band

Far from a failure, I feel like a brand new man

Smoking like a fiend and schemin'

Dealin' with the upper hand

It's been so long since I felt this good, God damn

I'm finally standin' 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 payin' my dues

For the first time, in a long time

I don't feel used

Let's go out honky tonkin'

Dancing till the morning light

The time is now and this time I feel all right

I'm finally standin' 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
