First time in a long time


Written by Deric Ruttan/Jimmy Rankin

Lately I've been losin' sleep
Stayin' up with your memory
All my friends say, "Hey, we're a little concerned"
But I got my wine and I got my smoke
And every letter you ever wrote
Tonight I'll light one up, let it burn

Chorus:
Cause I feel all right for the first time
In a long time
And I see the light now that I'm walkin'
In the sunshine
I was singin' my song and it goes
Shan na na na na na na
I feel all right for the first time
In a long time

This morning I took a look outside
And all the people passin' by
Nobody noticed you were gone
Put on my shoes, a different man
Went to the docks where my ship came in
I watched that tide rollin' on and on
And on and on and on

Repeat Chorus:
And I feel all right for the first time
In a long time
And I see the light now that I'm walkin'
In the sunshine
I was singin' my song and it goes
Shan na na na na na na
I feel all right for the first time
In a long time

guitar solo/steel solo

It took a while for me to see
What everybody knew but me
And I don't care where you are tonight
('Cause I feel all right)

Repeat Chorus:
Cause I feel all right for the first time
In a long time
And I see the light now that I'm walkin'
In the sunshine
I was singin' my song and it goes
Shan na na na na na na
I feel all right for the first time
In a long time

I feel alright shan na na na na na na
I see the light shan na na na na na na

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
