Loved Them First - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I still listen to the ball game on a radio outside

Just like the way my daddy used to do

An old lawn chair, a cold beer, and my son right by my side

In the backyard on a Sunday afternoon

I still listen to Nebraska 'cause my older brother did

Cross-legged in his black-lit back bedroom

If I promised not to touch his stuff, he'd let me listen in

And we'd be best friends for an hour or two

We're all pieces of the people that we've loved along the way

We try to take the best and lеave the worst

Like Bluе Jays games and old Springsteen

I love some things

'Cause someone I love loved them first

I never cared for straight tequila 'til she poured some in my cup

Spent that summer kissin' Cuervo off her lips

Man, I hated how she walked away when our time was up

But I still love that sweet agave kick

We're all pieces of the people that we've loved along the way

We try to take the best and leave the worst

Like gravel roads and front porch swings

I love some things

'Cause someone I love loved them first

Yeah, we're all pieces of the people that we've loved along the way

We try to take the best and leave the worst

Like Chevrolets and old six-strings

I love some things

'Cause someone I love loved them first

Yeah, 'cause someone I love loved them first
