Starting today, we'll be sharing the lyrics of a new song from "First Kiss" every Monday leading up to the album's release. This week, we're hitting you with the title track...

First Kiss

(R.J. Ritchie/M. Young)

I remember waiting for the school bus

Jenny Clayton was my first crush

And neither one of us had a clue

An old Cheyenne it was my first truck

Rusted, rough and kinda beat up

But when she jumped in it felt brand new

And now these days when I drive through a small town

I turn my stereo up and roll my windows down

’Cause it reminds me of my first kiss

And those days that I always miss

Tom Petty on the radio

Going steady with nowhere to go

No money just time to spend

An old Chevy and a couple friends

Oh how I wish that I could go back in time

Just to love you again

I remember drinking from the same cup

We’d break up just to make up

I remember falling in love with you

Smokin’ cigarettes on the tailgate

Man it seems like it was yesterday

When Main Street felt like Park Avenue

And when I’m driving through any ol’ small town

I turn my stereo up and roll my windows down

’Cause it reminds me of my first kiss

And those times that I always miss

Tom Petty on the radio

Going steady with nowhere to go

No money just time to spend

An old Chevy and a couple friends

Oh how I wish that I could go back in time

When forever felt like it would never come

And we never thought we’d turn 21

So young we thought this could never end

Oh how I wish we could go back again

And now that time has taken over

And we can’t fight this getting older

But somehow baby we made it through

And every time I’m a lookin’ at you

It reminds me of my first kiss

And those days that I always miss

Tom Petty on the radio

Going steady with nowhere to go

No money just time to spend

An old Chevy and a couple friends

Oh how I wish that I could go back in time

Just to love you again

Just to love you again

Just to love you again

Just to love you again

Oh how I wish that I could go back in time
