You were the first one I needed,
Up in the mountains you were bleeding
I've been here since I was young
You said you'd call if you're leaving
I'm out of tears long before this,
in a tight and lonesome road
No one thought you would beat him
We heard a shout, I don't believe it
I'm gonna miss somebody soon,
He wasn't good with the children
But I thought that I should keep him,
for he was my first true love
We met in the church when
I don't know where you got the key in
I don't know how long this can go
We met when I was seventeen
and you were driving to the coast
I always wished you weren't
when I married someone else
I'll never know how he found me
I stopped to grab a pack of smokes
I saw the mountains fall around me
But he reached in his long coat
He didn't say much of nothing
So I squeezed the metal in my hand
