For the First Time

[Verse 1] She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart While I'm drinking Jack all alone in my local bar And we don't know how How we got into this mad situation Only doing things out of frustration Trying to make it work, but, man, these times are hard [Verse 2] She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time I got a new job now on the unemployment line And we don't know how How we got into this mess, is it God's test? Someone help us cause we're doing our best Trying to make things work, but, man, these times are hard But we're gonna stop by [Chorus] Drinking old cheap bottles of wine Sit talking up all night Saying things we haven't for a while, a while, yeah We're smiling but we're close to tears Even after all these years We just now got the feeling that we're meeting For the first time [Verse 3] She's in line at the dole with her head held high While I just lost my job but didn't lose my pride And we both now how How we're going to make it work when it hurts When you pick yourself up you get kicked to the dirt Tryin' to make it work, but, man, these times are hard But we're gonna start by [Chorus] (x2) [Bridge] Oh, for the first time Yeah, for the first time (We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time) [Outro] Oh, these times are hard Yeah, they're making us crazy Don't give up on me, baby (x4)
