"First"
Cold War Kids
From: Hold My Home
Points: 1253
Peak: 1
Daryl says: "Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth, heavy as a feather when you hit the dirt. How am I the lucky one? I do not deserve! To wait around forever when, you were there first." That's the first half of the awesome chorus of this song. This took a while for me to get into it, but I love it now. And because of this, I like "Miracle Mile" (one of their previous singles) more now.

2) Let me tell you 'bout country
3) Country can be in the middle of a city
4) Country can be on a farm
5) Country ain’t even a place on map, it’s a place in your heart
6) Would you drive across the country
7) To listen to some country
8) He fought for his country
9) And died for his country
10) I love my country
