Keepin' it lit to prolong the enjoyment
Doing my best to avoid employment
The conventional wise men advised me to see
All the things I could do with my college degree
But before you accept what you're about to receive
Don't reject what you've always believed
I'll be the first to last
I never worry ‘bout the past
First to Last
I was married too young to an unloved girl
Who proceeded to guide me to her lonely world
I believed I could change her with my affection
Well, that didn't work; had to change my direction
With my children crying as I loaded my car
Reality exploded like a phony cigar
I'll be the first to last
You can't control what's in the past
First to last
Never worry ‘bout the past
I've worked real hard in a bunch of jobs but I still ain't left a mark
Got all wet at least a hundred times but it hasn't doused the spark
Started out slow; man, that was a drag
But I'm the last one standing when they're wavin' the flag
I'll be the first to last
Never worry ‘bout the past
First to last
Can learn a lot from what has passed
I'll be the first to last
Never worry ‘bout the past
First to last
Don't really care about the past
