The first time I got drunk

Henry swapped his parents vodka with some water

We got wasted on the street

Maybe six months later

Met a girl, she let me date her

Broke my heart, made a romantic out of me

Well I gave it all a try

I got low and I got high

And I swear I almost died outside Seattle

I met you somewhere in between

My useless liberal arts degree

And switching out the Spirits for the Camels

I know one day I will find

Nothing happens for the first time

And this world ain’t got surprises left for me

When the coffee tastes the same

And my bones ache when it rains

And I got no tricks up my sleeve

And I’m all I’ll ever be

Oh, it won’t matter when one day there’s nothing new

If I got you

The first time I went south

I could see the constellations

Making pinholes in the sky like moths in wool

I’d hardly blinked an eye

Before I found love by a fireside

Honky tonkin’, swapping songs to feed our souls

I know one day I will find

Nothing happens for the first time

And this world ain’t got no grand sights left to see

When the songs all sound the same

And my ears hurt when they play

And I’ve got no spring in my step

And I’m wise as I can get

Oh, it don’t matter when one day there’s nothing new

If I've got you

Well we give it all a try

We get drunk and we get high

And we get hit on by the swingers at the dive bar

I met you somewhere in between

New York and Tennessee

And I know that this’ll work if I do my part

I know one day I will find

Nothing happens for the first time

And this world ain’t got surprises left for me

When the coffee tastes the same

And my bones ache when it rains

And I got no tricks up my sleeve

And I’m all I’ll ever be

Oh, it won’t matter when one day there’s nothing new

Oh, it won’t matter when one day there’s nothing new

Oh, it won’t matter when one day there’s nothing new

If I got you
