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
