Chase Bryant - In The First Place Lyrics

Yeah, looking back now
I can tell that you were trying
To tell me what it was
I called love just wasn't flying
Said you were gonna leave
If I didn't get it right
So you took off like the breeze
As I worked straight through the night
I was the last one to see
What was right in front of me

You were second to the whiskey
You were third to my mama
A fourth to the mortgage
And a fifth to all my problems
I put it all before you
Now it's me that has to face
An empty house, an empty glass, and the truth
I never loved you in the first place, oh no

Now I'm drunk on regret
And all I think about is change
What I can brings me hope
What I can't just brings me pain
What I could or what I shoulda done
Is made you feel number one

You were second to the whiskey
You were third to my mama
A fourth to the mortgage
And a fifth to all my problems
I put it all before you
Now it's me that has to face
An empty house, an empty glass, and the truth
That I never loved you in the first place
I never loved you in the first place

You were second to the whiskey
Third to my mama
Fourth to the mortgage
And a fifth to all my problems
I put it all before you
Now it's me that has to face
Empty house, an empty glass, and the truth
That I never loved you in the first place
