I was fifteen, she was eighteen
The prettiest thing I'd ever seen in my life

I loved her at first sight
I found her in Marietta, a town north of Atlanta
I brought her home to see my folks

They loved her too

We were together for a long time

Thought it would be for all time
But things change and rearrange
She had to go

She left me cryin' in '79
An airline pilot, in Carolina
I was a wreck, can't drive a check

It broke my heart

My first love was an older woman

There's been many since
But there'll never be another
Built in 1955, snowshoe white, overdrive

I never should've sold her, I'll always love her
She was mine


Years went by, teardrops dried
I got her back, I was surprised
In '93, a gift to me on Christmas Eve

We were both older, so I restored her
Could've sold her, for a lot more
But I will never she's mine forever

Until I go

My first love was an older woman

There's been many since
But there'll never be another
Built in 1955, snowshoe white, overdrive

I never should've sold her, I'll always love her
She was mine


I'll never sell her she's mine forever
I love her so...
