There's something sacred when your 17   About a football jacket and a high school ring   And it sure looked nice when you wore mine      That late October at the homecoming dance   We slipped outside and we took a chance   In the middle of the night it sure felt right      We let go right then and there   We were loved and we were scared      For the first time lovin' blind we dove right in   For the first time we gave everything and then   Graduation came and our dreams called our names   With broken hearts we moved on with our lives   For the first time      Well, I heard the other day   You're a Sunday school teacher, got the PTA   Got a real good life, you're a real good wife      I'm living in this circus world   No, I ain't married but I got a girl   And I'm her man, we're making plans      But I still smile when I think of us   Together we learned how to love      For the first time lovin' blind we dove right in   For the first time we gave everything and then   Graduation came and our dreams called our names   With broken hearts we moved on with our lives   For the first time      Now, graduation came and our dreams called our names   Broken hearts we moved on with our lives   For the first time      For the first time lovin' blind we dove right in   For the first time we gave everything and then   For the first time we moved on with our lives   For the first time
