[Verse 1: Jason Aldean]
The mention of your name
Oh that's all it takes
My heart re-breaks
My whole world shakes
And it's flashback driveway pouring rain
Nothing I could do nothing I can say
To slow you down
And right now

[Chorus: Jason Aldean]
It's like the first time watching you walk away
Begging baby please just stay
Feeling every second of the clock tick by
On an endless night
The first time seeing you with someone new
Dying inside trying to play it cool
It don't matter how long it's been
I'm always missing you
For the first time again

[Verse 2: Kelsea Ballerini]
Yeah, you could start with an old song
Feeling you come on
Oh it could be at a party
Seeing everybody
Ooh and I'm right back wishing you were right back here
Wishing that missing you would just disappear
But it don't and it won't
And baby here I go

[Chorus: Jason Aldean, Kelsea Ballerini, Both]
It's like the first time watching you walk away
Begging baby please just stay
Feeling every second of the clock tick by
On an endless night
The first time seeing you with someone new
Dying inside trying to play it cool
It don't matter how long it's been
I'm always missing you
For the first time again
Oh, the first time again

[Bridge: Jason Aldean, Kelsea Ballerini, Both]
It don't let up, it don't get better
Hell it just might last forever
But it all takes me back
It all takes me back

[Chorus: Jason Aldean, Kelsea Ballerini, Both]
To the first time watching you walk away
Begging baby please just stay
Feeling every second of the clock tick by
On an endless night
The first time seeing you with someone new
Dying inside trying to play it cool
It don't matter how long it's been
I'm always missing you
For the first time again
I'm always missing you
For the first time again
For the first time again

After almost 15 years at the top of his format, reigning ACM “Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. Hell, he helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”), and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). For 9, Aldean’s ninth studio project, he offers 16 interwoven tracks in an era of stand-alone singles and superstar EPs, holding his ground for a modern album with an old-school soul. A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean’s a card-carrying member of the Country’s elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status. Also a dominant force on the charts, he’s scored 23 Number Ones and notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA. He’s the only Country act in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), racking up four billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
