Let's go out honky tonkin' 
Dancing till the morning light 
The time is now and this time I feel all right

I'm finally standin' tall 
I feel I just can't fall 
Your love takes me to a higher place

For the first time, in a long time 
I don't stand accused 
For the first time, in a long time 
I feel brand new 
Life's been kind, water tastes like wine 
I feel so high like I'm on cloud nine 
For the first time, in a long time
