First Things First

You are never gonna get

Everything you want in this world

First things first

Get what you deserve

It began when I was twenty-one years old

And my mom and dad were begging me to go

So I left a note and we went and hit the road

Me and chris and all the stuff I own

I went out to find my soul and left the only comfort that I know

It wasn't 'bout a girl or even california bleeding

It was all about me choosing where to go

And I sing

You are never gonna get

Everything you want in this world

First things first

Get what you deserve

You are never gonna get

Everything you want in this world

First things first

Get what you deserve

There were years I felt like everything was new

Long before the troubles of my youth

There were days and nights I couldn't see the end

And I swear the music was my only friend

You learn to lie about forgiveness

When you choose to let down all your pride

I don't wanna be so famous

I just want to sing until I die

So sing it

You are never gonna get

Everything you want in this world

First things first

Get what you deserve

You are never gonna get

Everything you want in this world

First things first

Get what you deserve

When I wish upon a star

I'll tell it how I got this far

It began when I learn how to face myself

And I'm still deciding if I'm something else

I'm a million different people all the time

But there's only one of me to get it right

You are never gonna get

Everything you want in this world

First things first

Get what you deserve
