I was the age of eight when I played the tape
And I heard a voice come through
It was singing loud and singing strong
To the words I barely knew
I was hanging on to the edge of the song
Waking up all my senses
I'm, untied
I'm singing along for the first time
For the first time
Singing along for the first time
I've been hearing songs since I came along
On radio and TV
But this one song when it came on
Felt like it was just for me
Now I'm singing along for the first time
For the first time
Singing along for the first time
It was Springsteen in the street
Cash in the summer heat
Willie on the road
Cobain in the cold
Stevie in my room
Learning every line to that tune
When the chorus came it was my chance to
Get up and start to dance away
Away, away, away
I'm singing along for the first time
For the first time
I'm singing along for the first time
I'm singing along for the first time
It was Springsteen in the street
Cash in the summer heat
Willie on the road
Cobain in the cold
Stevie in my room
Learning every line to that tune
When the chorus came it was my chance to
Singing along for the first time
