Dan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And her Daddy didn't like me much, yeah that might have been part of the rush
I was twenty one, just a son of a gun rollin' like a stone I was born to run
But I never met a girl like that had me turnin' round coming right back
We were crazy, crazy in love like you've never know,
She said baby don't you ever let me go
We were fast car, top down,
Slow dance long hair swingin'
Under the neon sky, just watching the world go by
We were laying by the river when the moon started drippin',
Finally figured out what a boy been missin'
Sinkin' into those eyes, yeah wrong never felt so right
We were small town, summertime sunset dreamin',
Man there ain't nothin' like a first time feelin'
Wrapped up there in a blanket, nervous kiss, hands were shakin'
Yeah we knew we were getting into, there was magic underneath that moon,
Driving me crazy, more than she could ever know,
I said baby I ain't ever gonna let ya go
We were fast car, top down,
George Straight singin' bare feet,
Slow dance long hair swingin'
Under the neon sky, just watching the world go by
We were laying by the river when the moon started drippin',
Finally figured out what a boy been missin'
Sinkin' into those eyes, yeah wrong never felt so right
We were small town, summertime sunset dreamin',
Man there ain't nothin' like a first time feelin'
The leaves fell down and the seasons changed,
And that pretty little thing just moved away to Texas
I guess a part of me did too
'Cause I miss her like crazy
She was my baby, take me back, take me back
We were fast car, top down,
George Straight singin' bare feet,
Slow dance long hair swingin'
Under the neon sky, just watching the world go by
We were laying by the river when the moon started drippin',
Finally figured out what a boy been missin'
Sinkin' into those eyes, yeah wrong never felt so right
We were small town, summertime sunset dreamin',
Man there ain't nothin' like a first time feelin'
The lyrics to Dan + Shay's song "First Time Feeling" tell the story of two young lovers who are experiencing the excitement of love for the first time.

Despite her father's disapproval, they fall deeply in love, sharing magical moments like slow dancing under the neon sky and watching the world go by. The song also describes the feeling of nervousness and uncertainty that comes with falling in love for the first time. The song ends on a bittersweet note as they part ways, but the songwriter can't help but look back at their time together with a sense of longing.
The song captures the essence of first love, with its mix of emotions and youthful energy. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a small town summer romance, complete with long hair swinging and bare feet.

Nice one Michael.. I've played in a SD "tribute band", (Nearly Dan) in the UK for over 20years. So many great songs & sophisticated chord progressions. Enjoy the show..

And a great job you have done too - Saw you first at the Leopard in Doncaster in 199? and probably 30 times since. Can't wait till 2022 !!!!!
james p connolly
And I go and see you every year in Glasgow. Damn Covid interrupted last two years. Keep the flame burning.
HelloOutsiders
@james p connolly It's hard to believe I haven't been to a concert in 2 years.
Eric Nunn
Saw you at The Stables in 2018, then the next week flew to New York to see Nightfly live at the Beacon Theatre. Both shows were fab! Look forward to seeing both again soon!
Brian Mincher
That’s an awesome cover band name.

Thank you for putting yourself out there! Most YouTube videos are either carefully rehearsed or heavily edited, but watching you piece this together and dissect it out was very educational and hugely fun.
Kenneth Dias
He should do a breakdown of The guitar work on Kid Charlemagne. 2 of the best solos ever. Steely Dan is sampled often in hip hop

Hey Michael, you're solid. Honest figuring it out cold is a great lesson for people who haven't reached this level yet. It just takes time doing this over and over until you just recognize licks and progressions, as they are usually just variations on something you've learned before.

Just finished one book on Steely Dan ("Major Dudes") and now into my second ("Steely Dan: Reelin' In The Years"). Needless to say, I'm a fan. Love all their work, and although I listen to all their albums, 'Aja' is probably my most listened-to. But, wow, what they did over the years. Just incredible.
