The Best Things Don’t Come First

Your first drink ain’t the good stuff
At 21, it goes down quick
It’s another ball game when you graduate
To that top shelf damn good sip

Your first ride’s daddy’s hand me down
Hundred thousand miles on that old truck
Then you save up for 3 years
F150 all souped up
Feels like a million bucks

Chorus:
That’s why the best things don’t come first
So you know what you’ve got when you get it
No, the world ain’t just gonna let you slide
Right on in to the time of your life
Cause that’s not how it works
That’s not how you learn
Before you go on and get it right
That’s why
The best things don’t come first
No

Your first kiss seventeen
You swore that that was love
Til forever showed up like dynamite
And you found out what it really was

Chorus:
That’s why the best things don’t come first
So you know what you’ve got when you get it
No, the world ain’t just gonna let you slide
Right on in to the time of your life
Cause that’s not how it works
Some things just have to hurt
Before you go on and get it right
Yeah that’s why
The best things don’t come first

No, no They don't come first

Your first crowd ain’t sold out
The gig’s in the back of a bar
They ain’t listening to your pickin’
And they don’t care who you are

So that someday when you’re on stage
After years of paying your dues
And they’re singing along to every song
You feel the dream coming true

Chorus:
That’s why the best things don’t come first
So you know what you’ve got when you get it
No the world ain’t just gonna let you slide
Right on in to the time of your life
Cause that’s not how it works
Some things just have to hurt
Before you go on and get it right
Yeah that’s why
The best things don’t come first

No, the best things don't come first
The best things don't come first
