The First Time - Richard Swift

I was born in the city

Oh, but I was born in the country

My mother said I didn’t have a name

But she would have to love me just the same

I was looking for something

I was looking for something

Well, I was looking for a place to go

Someplace that maybe I could call my own

Just let it go, just let it go cause it’s gone

You’re pointing fingers, you’re pointing fingers

Just let it go, just let it go, let it die

You didn’t know it was the very first time

It’s getting hard to remember

It’s getting hard to remember

That all the warning signs must be ignored

We’ve got to have the things we can’t afford

Just let it go, just let it go cause it’s gone

You’re pointing fingers, you’re pointing fingers

Just let it go, just let it go, let it die

You didn’t know it was the very first time

Oh, it was the first time

Oh, it was the first time

Oh, it was the first time

Oh, it was the first time

We were killing the neighbors

And we were laughing in churches

I’m very sorry but I disagree

I don’t know what has gotten into me

Just let it go, just let it go cause it’s gone

You’re pointing fingers, you’re pointing fingers

Just let it go, just let it go, let it die

You didn’t know it was the very first time

Oh, it was the first time

Oh, it was the first time

Oh, it was the first time

Oh, it was the first time
