John Hartford - First Girl I Loved songtekst
Je score:
I was in love with you, well-before I knew, it meant more than just wanting to be with you I used to look for other girls that looked like you But the laws of nature said, ‘forget it, son' ‘least that's what somebody told me I worried about it a little bit, but that's all I dreamt that you were Joan-of Arc And I was Don Quixote And everywhere we went the world was tin-foil But I gave up dreaming, and became a priest It put it right out of my system I worried about it a little bit, but that's all Now you used to play the guitar We worked in a country band I hung out down on the river bank, on Sunday Your brother was my closest friend, he drove a pickup truck he used to bring me home sometimes, from high school Now I was fifteen, oh the very first time Love broke completely inside me We young, and we were learning about it together And we had enough of what we thought we'd need Of those well-known secret fables We worried about it a little bit, but that's all I regret my life won't be long enough To make love to all the women that I'd like to Or least of all, to live with the ones I've loved And I've never regretted a love affair, except one and that's all over I worried about it a little bit, but that's all Now I heard you lived a-way up north Your kids are fat and plenty And I haven't seen your brother since a-way last Easter And if every other girl in the whole wide world Was just a little bit more like you I'd worry about it a little bit, but that's all Now you used to play the guitar We worked in a country band We hung out down on the river bank, on Sunday Your brother was my closest friend, he drove a pickup truck he used to bring me home sometimes, from high school
