Always the First Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now I've never stepped through the doors of a barroom or tasted the flavor of wine
And I've never danced to the songs on a jukebox or held someone that wasn't mine
But there's always the first time and if you don't change
Then I guess the first time can be arranged
Can be arranged

[Banjo]

[Verse 2]
Now I've never dressed for the eyes of the stranger to sow seeds of lust in his mind
And I've never walked down that road of temptation to leave dirty footprints behind
But there's always the first time and if you don't change
Then I guess the first time can be arranged
Can be arranged
Can be arranged

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
