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
