Wicked Twisted Road - Reckless Kelly - 2005
Lyrics

My first love was a wicked twisted road
I hit the million mile mark at seventeen years old
I never saw the rainbow much less a pot of gold
yeah my first love was a wicked twisted road

my first love was a castle in the sky
I never thought I'd make it 'till I had the guts to try
and I sat up in my tower while the whole world passed me by
yeah my first love was a castle in the sky

my first love was a fearless drive in rain
scared to death I thought I'd never see her face again
they say god was crying so I guess he felt my pain
yeah my first love was a fearless drive in rain

my first love was a wild sinful night
I ran out with the big dogs guess I had more bark then bite
even thought I won the battle in the end I lost the fight
yeah my first love was a wild sinful night

my first love was an angry painful song
I wanted one so bad I went and did everything wrong
a lesson in reality would come before too long
yeah my first love was an angry painful song


My first love was a wicked twisted road
I hit the million mile mark at seventeen years old
I never saw the rainbow much less a pot of gold
yeah my first love was a wicked twisted road

my first love was a wicked twisted road

More Trivia

As a critical fan, I just don't get this alleged theme of a "coming-of-age love story" within Wicked Twisted Road. I've listened to it from start to finish probably 25 times already, and I don't hear it. I didn't pick up on it at first listen, before I was told it was there... and when I went back and looked for it, I didn't find it (She Who Can Overanalyze to Extract Meaning From a Cereal Box). So, if you read one of the many reviews from the folks who mention this Thematic Love Narrative, just figure that they received the Sugar Hill press kit -- and then listen to the album and decide for yourself.
