This Ain't the First Time Lyrics

She left me standing on the front steps
Thinking about the angry words she said
And some how I wound up in this bar room
With memories still running through my head
Well, there’s a juke box in the corner, where I’m standing
There’s a lot of songs that sound the way I feel
But the kind of pain that’s in my heart, just can’t be beat with a steel guitar
It’s the kind of pain Merle Haggard just can’t kill.

(Chorus)
This ain’t the first time love’s gone wrong
This ain’t the first time I’ve been down and all alone
No, this ain’t the first time I’ve had to wash away my past
Girl, this ain’t the first time and probably ain’t the last.

I used to think that we had a future
We talked about it time and time again
And I always tried to give you what you wanted
But now, it seems that all you want is him
And I don’t want you to think that you’re the first one
Who’s made me feel this pain down in my chest
It really comes as no surprise, and I guess it’s time I realized
That you’re just like all the rest.

(Repeat Chorus)

No, this ain’t the first time and probably ain’t the last.
