love at first sight
Soul-Ty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back when freedom was set of keys when you turn 16
20 dollar bill for a waffle house
Date and a movie in the back
When your only worrys was gettin' that girl home on time 'cause if you don't it will be the last time
You ever see that girl in the passenger seat sittin there right beside you flyin down a back road like you always do...
Those days you thought you
Would never end til' one day
You threw those caps now call It way back when
You would give anything to go back where all you cared about was
First loves and lettermans
First loves and lettermans
To many pairs of ripped up jeans jumping barbed wire fences to go fishin
Bonfire on a Friday night boys drop your tailgates southern bells swinging their legs better than any downtown date
Those days you thought would never end till one day you threw those caps now you call it way back when
You would give anything to go back where all you cared about was
First loves and lettermans
First loves and lettermans
First loves and lettermans
First loves and lettermans
If I could go back and do it over I probably would
Only done one thing different
I would have held you a little
Closer because you were my
First love and you were wearing
My letterman
You were wearing my Letterman
You were wearing my Letterman
You were wearing my Letterman
Those days you thought would
Never end till one day you
Threw those caps now you call It way back when
You would give anything to go
Back where all you cared about Was
First loves and lettermans
First loves and lettermans
First loves and lettermans
First loves and lettermans
First loves and lettermans
First loves and lettermans




First loves and lettermans
First loves and lettermans
