LYRICS:
I got a car and it takes unleaded
I know a place with a tab on credit
So I fill the tank and get some Cokes for my friends
Lord it’s good to be back home again
It feels crazy running down these roads
When I see the street sign my mind always goes
Back to the old days of ‘94
They don’t make ‘em like that anymore
Take me back to the first dream
501 blue jeans
Tighter than goddamn Springsteen
Take me back to the first show
Right back to the first note
When I knew my heart was pure rock 'n' roll
I’m still searching for that first high
I tried cheering for the Wolverines
I took a shot at being pageant queen
But I wound up hanging with the punks at the park
Somebody asked me if had a spark
I played it cool but I was unsteady
My mind was reeling
Man it was so heavy
But I laid back and I let it ride
Oh the first taste of paradise
Take me back to the first dream
501 blue jeans
Tighter than goddamn Springsteen
Take me back to the first kiss
Oh how I miss how I felt when I fell for the first time
I’m still searching for that first high
Yeah I’m still searching for that first high
Sometimes I think that I should take a ride
Hundred miles an hour with no headlights
Then I might feel the same way I did back then
Never gonna happen again
Take me back to the first dream
501 blue jeans
Tighter than goddamn Springsteen
Take me back to the first night
Back to the first ride
When there was nothing but the first time
I’m still searching
Yeah I’m still searching
Yeah I’m still searching for that first high

Just came on here to say I’m proud of my brother for being in this music video! He’s the tattoo artist! He said Nikki’s such a cool chick and had fun working in this music video!

[@f7744dread388]

That's cool as hell!

[@benvasilinda9729]

Did he really give her that tattoo? I’m sure ur really happy for him. We all are lol.

[@cynicalafflictional1725]

Love that tattoo 😻😻😻

Everything Josh Homme touches is GOLD! Added with Nikki's voice 🥰 dream pairing

[@learnerlove6853]

this song went triple platinum in my house

Digging the hell outta this. Fun, racy, relatable. Oh and Joshua Homme!

[@PartyKingOfTarzana]

Love this song! And the Dandy Warhols riff!

Good old Damdys. Great Riff

Haha that's all I could hear for ages too... this song owns it now tho

[@kriscontinuum3267]

I just found out about you a week ago. Girl, I can't get enough of your music! My wife is gettin jealous LOL! You have elevated the art form by getting back to its roots. I love that you referred to country music as part of our heritage. Country is a treasure, and not enough Americans know the rich history, or how beautiful and fun it can be. So happy I became a fan right as a new album is coming out. ❤ 🤜🏼🤛🏻!

[@OkaySoShit]

Shame on you to working with abuser Josh

[@kriscontinuum3267]

I wasn't expecting a rock song.

Good music, my first time hearing you, and produced by an amazing person Joshua Homme, can't wait to hear more of this album 🤩this song reminds me of how I want to go back to my first genuine kiss and only real love 💯❤ nice lyrics

Vinyl ordered. Thank you Nikki Lane.

[@dicksnyder6753]

Outstanding music. Can't wait to see her play Toronto.

[@DurBube]

I was listening to the intro, before Nikki starts singing, and thinking I know that tune from somewhere, but I couldn't exactly put my fingers on it! Than I read that Josh Homme was the producer of the song and it dawned on me. The intro has much in common with 'Make it wit chu' from Queens of the Stone Age!

[@georgeIucas]

hell yeah

[@alfredodelafuente3132]

This song is great , as the whole album.

[@kayla5812]

Great song and I’m looking forward to the rest of the record.

[@DethmourneSilvermane]

An absolute delight of a track. Can't wait for my next chance to see you on tour!

[@LordShmendrick]

Can't get this song out of my head!!!!!! You girls fucking Rock!!!!! Takes me to a place that I forgot and I never want to leave again!!!!

[@ctempire3]

@@nathanharper5670 C'est l'une de mes artistes préférées.

[@legrandjluc105]

@@Laboiteatests c est quoi sont meilleur album ?

[@Laboiteatests]

@@legrandjluc105 Ce n'est pas évident de répondre à cette question. Pour l'instant, elle n'a fait que 3 albums et 1 ep. Le premier album, ainsi que son ep, tous deux sorties en 2011, sont intéressant à écouter, car on peut entendre de sa voix était légèrement différente. Les 2 autres disques, c'est-à-dire "All Or Nothin" (2014) "Highway Queen" 2017, ont un son plus proche de ce qu'elle partage récemment, et j'ai même l'impression que dessus elle a gagnée en maturité. Personnellement, j'aime tous ces disques, mais je crois que le publique a une préférence pour "Highway Queen", ce qui est logique puisque que c'est avec ce disque qu'elle a réussit à faire un peu parler d'elle hors de la sphère country, bien qu'avec "All Or Nothin", elle avait déjà acquis une solide réputation en tant qu'artiste dans le milieu.

Right on Nikki.

[@xeverettx2564]

Well keep searchin’. Does anyone else feel like Nashville may have had their grimy hands on this, at least a little bit......I need to research her new album that’s coming out and watch some interviews. Does anyone else know what’s going on with this new polished sound? And please don’t take what I said wrong! I absolutely love Nikki Lane and all her music she’s done!! If all the new stuff is like this I’ll definitely listen and give it a chance but it could take some getting use to. I really hope it rocks as hard as always! Between Nikki and Margo price they are carrying the torch of traditional female vocals, along with a few others. Ok lazer on dudes and dudettes!!!

nobody will ever get her like i do.

[@clyde23ify]

Heard this a couple of weeks ago on the radio. What and who tf was this?? An old Divinyls track I knew not of? Shelby Lynne? No, turns out to be this chops-packed, Chrissy Amphlett-esque hot voiced chick named Nikki Lane who'd I never heard before (though it turned out I had w/ Lana Del Rey, just didn't know it). Anyway, I was in love and heat at first hear and have played "First High" on a gd loop for the last, who knows, 5 days (unlike in life, the SONG does give me a First High every time). Trash glam rock (huge compliment in my book), echos of Elton "Saturday Night's All Right for Dancing" (those crunchy Stones-y guitar licks intro-ing the verses), a little T-Rex (!), a little Shelby/Tanya/Joan Jett --- in short, PERFECT CAR MUSIC. Which, with the price of gas right now, could be a problem. I'll live with it. Wow, Nikki Lane "First High", I am SOLD xoxo

[@rachellowe6064]

So this is what you sound like with your band. Just discovered you last night at the Lana del Rey concert. I will be digging in for sure

[@billnelson9413]

Great song Nikki.

[@jmason61]

She's got to be a Grace Potter fan, nothing wrong with that

[@nathanbricklin893]

Just granny cougars running into water 😂

[@amystephenson4168]

Talented artist....the "First High" song sounds strikingly like Chrissy Amphlett from the Divinyls, possibly an inspiration from her youth.
