First Time Living (feat. Gretchen Wilson)

I used to say I'd never 'cause I'd know better

Than to raise my voice like you did every time you'd lose it

You were doing your best, two kids, no rest

Yeah, I'm seeing it now from your side, I think you did alright

Don't we all need a little grace?

Another one more try again

A lot of things you woulda changed

If woulda known what you know now back then

Gettin' older makes you wiser

Doesn't mean you won't make mistakes

I shouldn't be so hard on you

It's your first time living too

It's your first time living too

I was working two jobs, just trying to make ends meet

And I had y'all way too young, just a baby having babies

You were a handful when you turned fifteen

Then when you met a boy and you moved away, I lost a piece of me

Don't we all need a little grace?

Another one more try again

A lot of things you woulda changed

If you woulda known what you know now back then

Gettin' older makes you wiser

Doesn't mean you won't make mistakes

I shouldn't be so hard on you

It's your first time living too

First time's hard to get through

Oh, first time down this road

First time learning as we go

Don't we all need a little grace?

Another one more try again

A lot of things I woulda changed

If I woulda known what I know now back then

Gettin' older makes you wiser

Doesn't mean you won't make mistakes

I shouldn't be so hard on you

It's your first time living too

It's my first time living too
