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 [x4]
