I been livin´ like a drunken sailor
Playin´ in a rock ´n roll band
Far from a failure, I feel like a brand new man
Smoking like a fiend and schemin´
Dealin´ with the upper hand
It´s been so long since I felt this good, God damn

I´m finally standin´ tall
I feel I just can´t fall
Your love takes me to a higher place

For the first time, in a long time
I´m done payin´ my dues
For the first time, in a long time
I don´t feel used

Let´s go out honky tonkin´
Dancing till the morning light
The time is now and this time I feel all right

I´m finally standin´ tall
I feel I just can´t fall
Your love takes me to a higher place

For the first time, in a long time
I don´t stand accused
For the first time, in a long time
I feel brand new
Life´s been kind, water tastes like wine
I feel so high like I´m on cloud nine
For the first time, in a long time
