Get There First

(Oh)

(Oh)

There ain't too many 2 AM backroads

That I ain't drove on drunk

There's a trail of hell behind my truck

That I just can't outrun

They're cursin' her name, the man I became

And the flame that's done burnt out

Heard there's a place out there for guys like me

But demons are chasin' me south

Yeah, I gotta get there first

Before they build a wall I can't knock down

If I'm gonna make this work

I gotta cover miles on this ground

I can see the light at the end of the bottle

Drinkin' my way through the end of this trouble

I'll let the past be the past and the worst be the worst

But all I know is I gotta get there first

(Oh)

If the water run fast enough to flush these pills

They wouldn't be on the counter

If this whiskey glass could hold anything more

It'd be enough to drown her

But, oh

I'll take more

And, oh

I gotta get myself off the floor

But I gotta get there first

Before they build a wall I can't knock down

If I'm gonna make this work

I gotta cover miles on this ground

I can see the light at the end of the bottle

Drinkin' my way through the end of this trouble

I'll let the past be the past and the worst be the worst

But all I know is I gotta get there first

Gotta get there first

(Oh)

Get there first

(Oh)

Yeah, I gotta get there first

Before they build a wall I can't knock down

If I'm even gonna make this work

I gotta cover miles on this ground

I can see the light at the end of the bottle

Drinkin' my way through the end of this trouble

I'll let the past be the past and the worst be the worst

But all I know is I gotta get there first

(Oh)

Gotta get there first

(Oh)

Get there first
