[Verse 1]
Maybe I said a few things that didn't mean much
And maybe I left a few hearts alone in the dust
And maybe I made a few mistakes, wasted a few good nights
But you're gonna get the best of me, and if I'm gonna get it right
[Chorus]
Well, I wanna get it right the first time
If I'm gonna get it right at all
Honey, I'm gonna walk the hard line
'Cause I'm here for the haul
Yeah, I wanna get it right the first time
I'm gonna give it all I've got
If it's gonna last a lifetime, then I got one last shot
To get it right the first time
[Verse 2]
Well, I ain't gonna be another in that long, long line
Of ones who tried to make it, but got lost and fell behind
If your tired heart is aching, let me carry you a while
[Chorus]
Yeah, I wanna get it right the first time
If I'm gonna get it right at all
Honey, I'm gonna walk the hard line
'Cause I'm here for the haul
Yeah, I wanna get it right the first time
I'm gonna give it all I've got
If it's gonna last a lifetime, then I got one last shot
To get it right the first time
[Bridge]
Well, the loving and the leaving is a young man's game
And it all might fall to pieces, but that's the chance I gotta take
[Chorus]
Yeah, I wanna get it right the first time
If I'm gonna get it right at all
Honey, I'm gonna walk the hard line
'Cause I'm here for the haul
Yeah, I wanna get it right the first time
I'm gonna give it all I've got
If it's gonna last a lifetime, then I got one last shot
To get it right the first time
[Outro]
To get it right the first time
To get it right the first time
Mmhmm
Maybe I said a few things that didn't mean much
And maybe I left a few hearts alone in the dust
And maybe I made a few mistakes, wasted a few good nights
But you're gonna get the best of me, and if I'm gonna get it right
[Chorus]
Well, I wanna get it right the first time
If I'm gonna get it right at all
Honey, I'm gonna walk the hard line
'Cause I'm here for the haul
Yeah, I wanna get it right the first time
I'm gonna give it all I've got
If it's gonna last a lifetime, then I got one last shot
To get it right the first time
[Verse 2]
Well, I ain't gonna be another in that long, long line
Of ones who tried to make it, but got lost and fell behind
If your tired heart is aching, let me carry you a while
[Chorus]
Yeah, I wanna get it right the first time
If I'm gonna get it right at all
Honey, I'm gonna walk the hard line
'Cause I'm here for the haul
Yeah, I wanna get it right the first time
I'm gonna give it all I've got
If it's gonna last a lifetime, then I got one last shot
To get it right the first time
[Bridge]
Well, the loving and the leaving is a young man's game
And it all might fall to pieces, but that's the chance I gotta take
[Chorus]
Yeah, I wanna get it right the first time
If I'm gonna get it right at all
Honey, I'm gonna walk the hard line
'Cause I'm here for the haul
Yeah, I wanna get it right the first time
I'm gonna give it all I've got
If it's gonna last a lifetime, then I got one last shot
To get it right the first time
[Outro]
To get it right the first time
To get it right the first time
Mmhmm
