There's somethin' sacred when your seventeen
'Bout a football jacket and a high school ring
And it sure looked nice
When you wore mine
That late October at a homecoming dance
We slipped outside and we took a chance
In the middle of the night
Man it sure felt right
We let go right then and there
We were loved and we were scared

For the first time
Lovin' blind we dove right in
For the first time
We gave everything and then
Graduation came
And our dreams called our names
With broken hearts we moved on with our lives
For the first time

Well I heard the other day
Your a Sunday school teacher got the pta
Got a real good life
Your a real good wife
I'm livin' in this circus world
No I ain't married but I got a girl
And I'm her man
We're makin' plans
But I still smile when I think of us
Together we learned how to love

For the first time
Lovin' blind we dove right in
For the first time
We gave everything and then
Graduation came
And our dreams called our names
With broken hearts we moved on with our lives
For the first time
