Dance Our First Dance

I finally went for my check-up today To stop all the naggin’ and get the okay Was poked and prodded till I said no Started to get up when he said, whoa Am I good for another forty years? Hey we’ve known each other since our very first beers He shook his head and said hidin’ a tear I know you old friend and your fears Give it to me straight Yeah, give it to me straight I know that I’m nobody’s teenage prom date But don’t make me beg for another chance To walk my baby girl down the aisle and… dance our first dance Then listen to me, really listen today Or watch from on high as someone else gives her gives her away No more drinkin’, not one more drop Cause you old-man Don't Know How To Stop Give it to me straight Yeah, give it to me straight I know that I’m nobody’s teenage prom date But don’t make me beg for another chance To walk my baby girl down the aisle and… dance our first dance I can see how that my hard ways Could keep me from important days Thanks for tellin’ it straight Yeah, thanks for tellin’ it straight I know that I’m nobody’s teenage prom date I know now I’ve got a chance To walk my baby girl down the aisle and… dance our first dance And dance our first dance And dance our first dance
