Verse 1 Bet you stole some boy’s heart Underneath a million stars When you were young and you fell real hard Did he hold you close and dance Did he meet your daddy on your first date When he broke your heart you had to find a way To get over him and all the pain Now its buried in the past Girl it doesn’t matter anyway I couldn't love you back then like I do today Chorus No, I wasn’t the first to love you Be the one to think of you I didn’t give you that first kiss Yeah that was someone else I wasn't the first to find you Be the one to make love blind you Every heartbeat we both missed Are just stories that we tell From now till forever ain’t so bad I’m so glad I came in last Verse 2 In these arms you’ll never be alone Its your hand I’ll always hold When our last breath is gone We’ll still be together Then we’ll count the stars one by one When we’ve reached the end we’ve only just begun I’ll never be your one and done You’ll never have to wonder If there’s more to this life Girl you know you know There will always be you and I Chorus No, I wasn’t the first to love you Be the one to think of you I didn’t give you that first kiss Yeah that was someone else I wasn't the first to find you Be the one to make love blind you Every heartbeat we both missed Are just stories that we tell From now till forever ain’t so bad I’m so glad I came in last REPEAT

Every morning I wake up put on a brand new day Kiss my boy and grab my coat And drive these eighteen wheels away With the words I miss you daddy That echo in my mind And I think of all the years I left behind But it’s too late to turn this truck around Tell the boss I ain’t leaving town Go home and grab a fishing pole or two Me and my boy an that old bench seat I wonder what he’ll think of me Will he forgive the man this road turn me into I don’t want to spend my whole life wishing I shoulda’ taken him fishing Well I pulled off the ramp I needed to stop Cause He was tugging at my heart I opened up his home made lunch That’s when I found the card There were two stick men and a dinosaur Drawn in crayola blue And the words I miss the most Dad I love you Is it too late to turn this truck around Tell the boss I ain’t leaving town Go home and grab a fishing pole or two Just me and my boy an that old bench seat I wonder what he’ll think of me Will he forgive the man this road turn me into Don’t want to spend my whole life wishing I shoulda’ taken him fishing Gonna put a large mouth on the wall Before the years fly by Everytime he sees it hanging there He’ll always remember the time I turned that big ole truck around Told the boss I ain’t leaving town Went home and grabbed a fishing pole or two I wonder what he thinks of me As we’re sitting on the bank of that creek Don’t want to be the man this road turn me into Not gonna spend my whole life wishing Now I realize all that I been missing Cause I took him fishing I hope he takes his own boy fishin

Years since I opened that door not much has changed than before Still songs covered in dust and time left on guitars playing heartaches and lies Seems like yesterday that's so far away one of them was mine Drinking in honky-tonks or to pay the rent Doesn’t matter how the money was spent Ticket back home or to help a friend For so many dreams this shop was the end Only in the dark do you get to hear them play The ghosts of all their Opry dreams echo on those strings All the songs that never found a way They were left they were left on Broadway ....left on Broadway In between a 1000 no’s those songs played a million shows Years of lost forgotten words some of the best in town were never heard Only in the dark do you get to hear them play The ghosts of all their Opry dreams echo on those strings All the songs that never found a way They were left they were left on Broadway ....left on Broadway Years of lost forgotten words Some of the best in town were never heard On Broadway. Down on Broadway

Verse 1 In the front yard that old dog is laying in the gravel where you use to park Another night pouring whiskey cause the pain is gonna start Oh I’ll dust them off so it won’t seem final … …then I listen to that vinyl Chorus That vinyl The one we danced to That vinyl The one where I fell in love with you Hoping the needle skips the part when you leave Oh it's still just me all alone pouring whiskey Listening to that vinyl Verse 2 Empty house seems so loud when it’s your heart break they’re singing about Song 3 on side B Is damn near killing me still our song even though you're gone When the pain comes it’s like I need it for my survival Like a whiskey drunk Lost soul revival Chorus That vinyl The one we danced to That vinyl The one where love made me a fool Hoping the needle skips the part when you leave Oh it's still just me all alone pouring whiskey Listening to that vinyl Listening to that vinyl….. Bridge Lost in our collection only your memory’s reflection Here in the dark where you left me Chorus Listen to.... That vinyl The one we danced to That vinyl The one where I fell in love with you Hoping the needle skips the part when you leave Oh it's still just me all alone pouring whiskey Listening to that vinyl Listening to that vinyl…..

We both drank whiskey she laid on her back and I carried a gun We started out in New Orleans riding the trains from pain She came from a field in Dixie one that had burnt to the ground It wasn't she didn't know her past it was a fever that never broke We rode and lived in the boxes no silence was deafening Riding the rails racing hearts beating raunchley Some boxes left with blood on our hands with a hunger to live So many forgotten faces asking for mercy spilled on the tracks CHORUS I'm not sure of the distance the miles and years of life I'm sure of the pain that is on you till you die I'm not sure of the distance when you look in lost eyes I'm sure of the weight you carry till you die Sweetly I kissed her I tasted the passion it didn't quench my soul We both knew our worlds were shackled like the broken wing of a crow We went up to Memphis jumping two tracks Strangers wanting what we didn't have In a room from the money when she laid on her back All the pain left from the needle she did all we had When I awoke she had left me but her body was still there I guess when she left me she loved me the only one who cared My drunk mother had left me in a alley cold and alone Just a crying baby so cold and alone Outside our room flowed the Mississippi deep and wide Wrapped in stained sheets and dreams I didn't hear her when she had to leave To a God that had surly forgotten her a long time ago Down that deep wide river without me she floated home Chorus I don't know the distance of sorrow I don't know the distance between dreams I don't know the distance of the burdens I don't know the distance do we find each other there
