For The First Time

Still remember that first ride with my grand daddy on his old John Deere

He put me up in his lap said son I'll hit the gas if you wanna steer

Had me feelin' like a king in the back forty of them southern pines

I didn't know it back then

I've been doing it since

I did it for the first time

Sixteen with my first keys to my daddy's hand me down pickup truck

He handed me a little cash said keep her full of gas don't get her stuck

Tore it out down a back road with a couple buddies with some beer on ice

I didn't know it back then

I've been doing it since
