Darius Rucker For The First Time lyrics

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,

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

She needs me now but

I can't seem to find the time,

I've got a new job now

on the unemployement 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 it work but man

these times are hard

But we're gonna start by

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

She's in line at the Dole

With her head held high

While i just lose my job but

Didn't lost my pride

But we both know how,

How we're gonna make

it work when it hurts,

When you pick yourself up,

You get kicked to the dirt
