First

You were the first girl I ever let try to drive my truck
First fall I didn't care at all about a buck
'Cause I was spendin' all my time tryin'
Just to get you to be mine

You were the first girl to make this boy wanna settle down
First time in my life I ever thought about
Gettin' out of the fast lane and puttin'
Someone's first with my last name and I

Made a promise to your daddy
I'd always put you first
But there's just one time I really hope that I
Don't have to keep my word

When that hourglass runs out of sand
And the good Lord calls us home
When this needle runs out of record
And these tires run out of road
There's gonna come a day, not soon I pray
That one of us has gotta go
And, girl, without you here with me, it'd be Hell on Earth
So I hope Heaven takes me first

I'd be the first smile to greet you right there at the gate
First one to show you all around the place
Hope it don't sound selfish that I wanna beat you there
'Cause if you went first, I couldn't handle the hurt, I swear

When that hourglass runs out of sand
And the good Lord calls us home
When this needle runs out of record
And these tires run out of road
There's gonna come a day, not soon I pray
That one of us has gotta go
And, girl, without you here with me, it'd be Hell on Earth
So I hope Heaven takes me first

Girl, I promise for as long as I can
I'll always put you first
But there's just one time I really hope that I
Don't have to keep my word

When that hourglass runs out of sand
And the good Lord calls us home
When this needle runs out of record
And these tires run out of road
There's gonna come a day, not soon I pray
That one of us has gotta go
And, girl, without you here with me, it'd be Hell on Earth
So I hope Heaven takes me first

Yeah, Heaven takes me first
Take me first
