"First Love" lyrics

First Love

I was fifteen
She was eighteen
The prettiest thing I'd ever seen in my life
I loved her at first sight
I found her in Marietta
A town north of Atlanta
I brought her home
To see my folks
They loved her too

We were together
For a long time
Thought it would be
For all time
But things change and rearrang
She had to go
She left me crying in '79
An airline pilot, in Carolina
I was a wreck
Can't drive a check
It broke my heart

My first love was an older woman
There's been many since
But there'll never be another
Built in 1955
Snowshoe white
Overdrive
I never should've sold her
I'll always love her
She was mine

Years went by
Teardrops dried
I got her back
I was surprised
In '93
A gift to me on Christmas Eve
We were both older
So I restored her
Could've sold her
For a lot more
But I will never
She's mine forever
Until I go

My first love was an older woman
There's been many since
But there'll never be another
Built in 1955
Snowshoe white
Overdrive
I never should've sold her
I'll always love her
She was mine

I'll never sell her
She's mine forever
I love her so
