WILBURN BROTHERS - FIRST STEP DOWN (IS THE LONGEST) lyrics

rate me

The first step down is the longest on your way down the ladder of disgrace

Take the cap from the top of the bottle

Just one drink then put it down that's what you say

But one drink just leads to another that's the first step you're well on your way

The first step down is the longest they get shorter the rest of the way

Start talkin' to the wife of your best friend

Tell her lines build her up she'll come around

Win her heart bring her down to your level that's another step your thirty far down

The first step down is the longest they get shorter the rest of the way

[ piano ]

Stay out late losing sleep till you can't work

Go to places where you know you don't belong

Lose your job your home and your family

You're on the bottom now and it didn't take long

The first step down is the longest on your way down the ladder of disgrace
