First Taste of Living (Live) Lyrics

This next song we're going to play

Is a little song I wrote called "First Taste of Living"

It's about that first taste of beer

That first time you drove a truck

The first time you hopped on a football field

The first time you tasted the first real taste of living

Summer going into freshman year

I snuck out and drank my first beer

It was a six-pack split between six guys

I didn't like the taste, I didn't get drunk

But it made me feel I wasn't so young

We all thought we felt a little buzz

It was the first taste of living

The summer went fast and so did us

When I stole the keys to the pickup truck

Daddy only let me drive when he was there

Well I didn't know how to pump gas

So he found out I got real mad

But it was worth all the hell that I got

For a first taste of living

It was that first taste of living

And that first taste of freedom

And we all thought that feeling would never end

And time went on and we grew up

Next thing you know you're falling in love

But the kid inside, is still chasing

The first taste of living

The first taste of living

One became two and two became three

Next thing you know you make a football team

Those Friday night lights are your whole life

Mama got scared and daddy got proud

And the stadium was cheering loud

When I had my first hit on a Friday night

It was the first taste of living

It was that first taste of living

And that first taste of freedom

And we all thought that feeling would never end

And time went on and we grew up

Next thing you know you're falling in love

But the kid inside is still chasing

The first taste of living

The first taste of living

yeah

Oh it's been some years

Since I snuck out late and had a taste of that first beer

That first beer

That first beer

Yeah

It was that first taste of living

And that first taste of freedom

And we all thought that feeling would never end

Time went on and we grew up

Next thing you know you're falling in love

But the kid inside, is still chasing

The feeling I felt under Friday night lights

Or stealing the keys to my daddy's drive

The kid inside, is still chasing

The first taste of living

The first taste of living
