[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well it might get rough in this world for you
It won t get any easier I ll tell you true
There s hard knocks road blocks coming thru
You gotta grow up tough but keep your head on too
[Chorus 1]
Sometimes you re gonna need a helping hand
Don t worry about it kid I understand
But you better have a good reason to
Don t drag me outta bed unless you really do
Then I ll turn up in a Cadillac
A Chevy or a Honda
I ll be your first responder
A Pullman train an all terrain
A tractor or Hyundai
I ll be your first responder
Whatever it is you won t wait any longer
For your first responder
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
Well I got nothing better to do with my time
Than bail you outta jail or pay your parking fine
Well my daddy would a done the same for me
I paid him back later cos nothing s free
[Chorus 2]
Sometimes you re gonna need a helping hand
Don t worry about it boy I understand
But you better have a good reason to
Don t drag me outta bed unless you really do
Then I ll turn up in a hybrid
Or a hummer or a Honda
I ll be your first responder
A wicked Maserati a Kia or Hyundai
I ll be your first responder
Whatever it is you won t wait any longer
For your first responder
[Bridge]
But your explanation for this mess
Better not be too weird to confess
Or I ll box your ears till your teeth come loose
You better have a good excuse
Ooh, ooh
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus 3]
Sometimes you re gonna need a helping hand
Don t worry about it kid I understand
But you better have a good reason to
Don t drag me outta bed unless you really do
And don t worry now you won t have to ponder
Who ll be your first responder
I ll cross any distance or the wild blue yonder
To be your first responder
I ll be your first responder
I ll be your first responder
[Outro]
