Carolyn Dawn Johnson

Got There First

I shouldn't be missin' you;

It makes no sense.

Should be wearin' "I'm-over-you" boots,

An' goin' dancin'.

I'm havin' one of those,

One of those days;

God knows I've had a few,

But I know it's temporary.

I got a good life now,

But every once in a while,

A little breakdown.

It ain't no good thing,

I'll be drivin' along,

An' hear stories to sing an' get lost,

Yeah, I have to stop,

'Cause I'll get all caught up in the sad.

I have a little breakdown.

I think it's over an' done;

Then I lose control.

But when you're givin' your heart to someone,

It's inevitable.

The first thing you never learn about love,

Is that you never really let it go.

I'm a walkin' contradiction.

Yeah.

I got a good life now,

But every once in a while,

A little breakdown.

It ain't no big thing,

I'll be drivin' along,

An' hear stories to sing an' get lost,

Yeah, I have to stop,

'Cause I'll get all caught up in the sad.

I have a little breakdown, yeah.

Breakdown.

I have a little breakdown, yeah.

I lose sleep, but hey,

I can always catch up the next day.

A few tears:

Well everyone needs a good cry now an' then,

Anyway.

Yeah, I got a good life now,

But every once in a while,

A little breakdown.

It ain't no big thing,

I'll be drivin' along,

An' hear stories to sing an' get lost,

Yeah, I have to stop,

'Cause I'll get all caught up in the sad.

I have a little breakdown.

Yeah, a little breakdown.

Oh, I shouldn't be missin' you;

It makes no sense.

Should be wearin' "I'm-over-you" boots,

An' goin' dancin'.

Oh yeah.
