[00:06.99]You were the first girl I ever let try to drive my truck
[00:11.23]First fall I didn't care at all about a buck
[00:14.45]'Cause I was spendin' all my time tryin'
[00:17.74]Just to get you to be mine
[00:20.48]You were the first girl to make this boy wanna settle down
[00:24.43]First time in my life I ever thought about
[00:27.62]Gettin' out of the fast lane and puttin'
[00:31.34]Someone's first with my last name and I
[00:34.50]Made a promise to your daddy
[00:37.59]I'd always put you first
[00:40.27]But there's just one time I really hope that I
[00:43.72]Don't have to keep my word
[00:46.93]When that hourglass runs out of sand
[00:50.42]And the good Lord calls us home
[00:53.41]When this needle runs out of record
[00:56.69]And these tires run out of road
[01:00.01]There's gonna come a day, not soon I pray
[01:03.83]That one of us has gotta go
[01:06.87]And, girl, without you here with me, it'd be Hell on Earth
[01:13.65]So I hope Heaven takes me first
[01:23.52]I'd be the first smile to greet you right there at the gate
[01:28.12]First one to show you all around the place
[01:31.38]Hope it don't sound selfish that I wanna beat you there
[01:36.29]'Cause if you went first, I couldn't handle the hurt, I swear
[01:40.50]When that hourglass runs out of sand
[01:43.23]And the good Lord calls us home
[01:46.76]When this needle runs out of record
[01:49.76]And these tires run out of road
[01:53.49]There's gonna come a day, not soon I pray
[01:57.22]That one of us has gotta go
[01:59.98]And, girl, without you here with me, it'd be Hell on Earth
[02:06.98]So I hope Heaven takes me first
[02:13.46]Girl, I promise for as long as I can
[02:17.33]I'll always put you first
[02:20.13]But there's just one time I really hope that I
[02:23.84]Don't have to keep my word
[02:28.18]When that hourglass runs out of sand
[02:32.05]And the good Lord calls us home
[02:35.09]When this needle runs out of record
[02:38.48]And these tires run out of road
[02:42.03]There's gonna come a day, not soon I pray
[02:45.66]That one of us has gotta go
[02:48.60]And, girl, without you here with me, it'd be Hell on Earth
[02:55.47]So I hope Heaven takes me first
[03:03.48]Yeah, Heaven takes me first
[03:09.81]Take me first
