First Girl I Loved Lyrics - Aereo-plain - John Hartford

I was in love with you, well-before I knew, 

it meant more than just wanting to be with you 

I used to look for other girls that looked like you 

But the laws of nature said, 'forget it, son' 

'least that's what somebody told me 

I worried about it a little bit, but that's all 

I dreamt that you were Joan-of Arc 

And I was Don Quixote 

And everywhere we went the world was tin-foil 

But I gave up dreaming, and became a priest 

It put it right out of my system 

I worried about it a little bit, but that's all

Now you used to play the guitar 

We worked in a country band 

I hung out down on the river bank, on Sunday 

Your brother was my closest friend, 

He drove a pickup truck 

he used to bring me home sometimes, from high school 

Now I was fifteen, oh the very first time 

Love broke completely inside me 

We young, and we were learning about it together 

And we had enough of what we thought we'd need 

Of those well-known secret fables 

We worried about it a little bit, but that's all 

I regret my life won't be long enough 

To make love to all the women that I'd like to 

Or least of all, to live with the ones I've loved 

And I've never regretted a love affair, 

except one and that's all over 

I worried about it a little bit, but that's all

Now I heard you lived a-way up north 

Your kids are fat and plenty 

And I haven't seen your brother since a-way last Easter 

And if every other girl in the whole wide world 

Was just a little bit more like you 

I'd worry about it a little bit, but that's all 

Now you used to play the guitar 

We worked in a country band 

We hung out down on the river bank, on Sunday 

Your brother was my closest friend,
