FIRST LOVE (GROWING PAINS)

 

 

 

 

The lonely youngster on the wide open road

He walked for miles and thought his head would explode

Well he was just turned sixteen

And life had treated him rough

And sure he vented his spleen

Cos he had so had enough

 

He chose the wrong door

It wasn't his fault

It left his wounds raw

And rubbed in more salt

It wasn't good

 

The lonely girl upon the wide open track

She walked for miles and swore she'd never turn back

Well she was just turned sixteen

And life no bundle of fun

She sought a whole change of scene

Or else her venom would run

 

She felt a tight noose

It was a slow death

She had to fight loose

Or draw her last breath

It wasn't good

 

At last they came towards a point on the map

Between the two of them was hardly gap

Guess it was love at first sight

And so incredibly strong

That they made love all that night

Until the dawn came along

 

He squeezed her real tight

But he was headstrong

And in the headlight

He got it all wrong

But it was good

 

They were too young and that spelt trouble for sure

They didn't want to have no truck with the law

And so the very next day

With all the money they had

They made their way to L.A.

Which they thought couldn't be bad

 

They knew they had rights

To start a new life

Where there'd be new lights

And there'd be less strife

And it felt good

 

He was too young to get a job as a clerk

But as a drudge he soon got plenty of work

They used the money they had

To make a home of their own

She bore him twins and a lad

They never looked for a loan

 

She was his first love

She was his best love

It was to last long

Their love was that strong

And life was good

 

Well there's a moral when your life's not so cool

Get off your butt and hurry out of the school

Don't go expecting no buck

Don't go expecting no dues

Though you may run out of luck

You sure have nothing to lose

 

Go write a brief note

Go leave that cold sack

Go get that slow boat

Go hit that fast track

Till things turn good

 

She was his first love

She was his best love

It was to last long

Their love was that strong

And it was good
