For The First Time (In A Long Time)

[Verse 1] I been living like a drunken sailor Playing in a rock on 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, God damn [Chorus] I'm finally standing tall I feel I just can't fall Your love takes me to a higher place [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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
