The first step down is the longest they get shorter the rest of the way. The first step down is the longest, on the 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 The first step down is the longest, on your way down the ladder of disgrace
|
Start talkin' to the wife of your best friend
|
Tell her lies, build her, up she'll come around
|
Win her heart bring her down to your level that's another step your pretty far down
|
The first step down is the longest they get shorter the rest of the way. The first step down is the longest, on your way down the ladder of disgrace.

Stay out late lose your 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, they get shorter the rest of the way. The first step down is the longest on your way down the ladder of disgrace, You're on the bottom now and it didn't take you very long. Youre on the bottom now and it didn't take you very long
