Well it might get rough in this world for you

It won't get any easier I'll tell you true

There's hard knocks road blocks coming thru

You gotta grow up tough but keep your head on too

But sometimes you're gonna need a helping hand

Don't worry about it kid I understand

But you better have a good reason

Don't drag me outta bed unless you really do

Then I'll turn up in a Cadillac

A Chevy or a Honda

I'll be your first responder

A Pullman train an all terrain

A tractor or Hyundai

I'll be your first responder

Whatever it is you won't wait any longer

For your first responder

Well I got nothing better to do with my time

Than bail you outta jail or pay

Your parking fine

Well my daddy would a done the same for me

I paid him back later 'cos nothing's free

But sometimes you're gonna need a helping hand

Don't worry about it boy I understand

But you better have a good reason

Don't drag me outta bed unless you really do

Then I'll turn up in a hybrid

Or a hummer or a Honda

I'll be your first responder

A wicked Maserati a Kia or a Hyundai

I'll be your first responder

Whatever it is you wait any longer

For your first responder

But you're explanation for this mess

Better, not be too weird to confess

Or I'll box your ears till

Your teeth come loose

You better have a good excuse

But sometimes you're gonna need a helping hand

Don't worry about it kid I understand

But you better have a good reason

Don't drag me outta bed unless you really do

Don't worry now you won't have to ponder

Who'll be your first responder

I'll cross any distance or the wild blue yonder

To be your first responder

I'll be your first responder

I'll be your first responder
