First Love

(A.Jackson)



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 rearrange

She had to go

She left me cryin' 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...
