First Things First

You are never gonna get
Everything you want in this world
First things first
Get what you deserveIt began when I was twenty-one years old
And my mom and dad were begging me to go
So I left a note and we went and hit the road
Me and Chris and all the stuff I ownI went out to find my soul and left the only comfort that I'd known
It wasn't 'bout a girl or even California bleeding
It was all about me choosing where to goAnd I sing
You are never gonna get
Everything you want in this world
First things first
Get what you deserveYou are never gonna get
Everything you want in this world
First things first
Get what you deserveThere were years I felt like everything was new
Long before the troubles of my youth
There were days and nights I couldn't see the end
And I swear the music was my only friendYou learn to lie about forgiveness
When you choose to let down all your pride
I don't wanna be so famous
I just want to sing until I dieSo sing it
You are never gonna get
Everything you want in this world
First things first
Get what you deserveYou are never gonna get
Everything you want in this world
First things first
Get what you deserveWhen I wish upon a star
I'll tell it how I got this farIt began when I learn how to face myself
And I'm still deciding if I'm something else
I'm a million different people all the time
But there's only one of me to get it rightI'm gonna get right
Oh oh, I'm gonna get it right, I'm gonna get it right
Oh oh ohYou are never gonna get
Everything you want in this world
First things first
Get what you deserveYou are never gonna get
Everything you want in this world
First things first
Get what you deserveYou are never gonna get
Everything you want in this world
First things first
Get what you deserveYou are never gonna get
Everything you want in this world
First things first
Get what you deserve
