First Things Last

about

"A contemplative, introspective gem" - Dan Israel, award-winning songwriter

A true-to-life story of a girl outgrowing her boyfriend. Americana/folk rock vibe.

lyrics

She didn't care that much for him
But she stuck around
Maybe it was boredom or lack of self-respect
Or how much she loved that town

He wasn't that bad in the past
He just put first things last

She tried her best to be true
And she mostly was
He stopped caring as though he never did
She stayed with him just because

He wasn't that bad in the past
He just put first things last

On the day that she left
He watched one last episode
Smiling slightly he sank into his chair
And rolled one for the road

He wasn't that bad in the past
He just put first things last
