For the First Time (In a Long Time)

Kid Rock

I been livin' like a drunken sailor 
Playin' in a rock 'n roll band 
Far from a failure, I feel like a brand new man 
Smoking like a fiend and schemin' 
Dealin' with the upper hand 
It's been so long since I felt this good, God damn 

I'm finally standin' tall 
I feel I just can't fall 
Your love takes me to a higher place 

For the first time, in a long time 
I'm done payin' my dues 
For the first time, in a long time 
I don't feel used 

Let's go out honky tonkin' 
Dancing till the morning light 
The time is now and this time I feel all right 

I'm finally standin' tall 
I feel I just can't fall 
Your love takes me to a higher place 

For the first time, in a long time 
I don't stand accused 
For the first time, in a long time 
I feel brand new 
Life's been kind, water tastes like wine 
I feel so high like I'm on cloud nine 
For the first time, in a long time
