There's something sacred when you're 17
'Bout a football jacket and a high school ring
And it sure looked nice 
When you wore mine

That late October at the homecoming dance
We slipped outside and we took a chance
In the middle of the night 
It sure felt right

We let go right then and there
We were loved and we were scared

For the first time
Loving 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

I heard the other day
You're a Sundayschool teacher, got the PTA
Got a real good life
You're a real good wife

I'm living in this circus world
No, I ain't married but I got a girl
And I'm her man 
And we’re making plans

But I still smile when I think of us
Together we learned how to love

For the first time
Loving 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

Graduation came
And our dreams called our names
With broken hearts we moved on with our lives
For the first time

For the first time
Loving blind we dove right in
For the first time
We gave everything and then
For the first time
We moved on with our lives
For the first time
