First To Go

Can I pay for some gifts so I can share 'em
And I'll pay with a kiss and a hung
One of these days, I'll be sure to get paid
And I'll pay you with more than my love
Now darlin' I know you're weary
But I can't give what I have none of
One of these days, I'll stop being your slave
And I'll reach back out for your love

We can't kick this together
And we can't kick this alone
I don't want to see you die tomorrow
So I hope that I'm the first to go
When I met you, you were young and you were healthy
And then I introduced you to hell
The light in your eyes flew away with the flies
So lets go find something else to sell

You puked in your sleep so I rolled you over
And for a second I thought you were dead
I said a quick prayer and I checked your pulse
And I remembered the last thing you said
We can't kick this together
And we can't kick this alone
I don't want to see you die tomorrow
So I hope that I'm the first to go

Our lives are now worn out and weary
What once used to fit like a glove
One of these days we’ll get out of this place
And I'll see you in heaven above
We can't kick this together
And we can't kick this alone
I don't want to see you die tomorrow
So I hope that I'm the first to go
