Broken strings and cheap guitars
Rehearsal rooms and beat up cars
Somehow we never got that far in my first band

It's such a complicated game
To find a look and choose a name
Nothing's ever been the same as my first band

And in my memory it shines
And on old cassettes I find from time to time
My first band

It's like a girl, I can't forget her
And with each rejection letter
Somehow I fell we're getting better
My first band

So long ago (so long ago)
So long ago
So long ago
My first band

And in my memory it shines
And on old cassettes I find from time to time
My first band

"It's good to see ya, how you been?"
Even with the years between
We slip into the old routine
My first band

So long ago (so long ago)
So long ago
So long ago
My first band

So long ago (so long ago)
So long ago
So long ago
My first band
