There's somethin sacred when your 17

bout a football jacket and a highschool 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

loving 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

your a sunday school teacher got the p.t.a.

got a real good life

your a real good wife

i'm livin in this circus world

no I aint married but I got a girl

and i'm her man

and we're makin plans

but I still smile when I think of us

together we learned how to love



for the first time

loving 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



oh, graduation came

and our dreams called our names

with broken hearts we moved on with our lives

for the first time...



for the first time

loving blind we dove rite in

for the first time

we gave everything and then

for the first time

we moved on with our lives

for the first time
