It was labor day weekend I was 17 I bought a coke and some gasoline I drove out to the county fair When I saw her for the first time She was standing there in the ticket line it all started right then and there
Oh a sailors sky made a perfect sunset Thats a day Ill never forget
I had a bbq stain on my white t-shirt She was killin me in that mini skirt skippin rocks on the river by the railroad tracks She had a sun tan line and red lipstick I worked so hard for that first kiss and a heart dont forget somethin like that
It was 5 years later on a southbound plane I was headed down to New Orleans To meet some friends of mine for the Marte Gra When I heard a voice from the past Comin from a few rows back And when I looked I couldnt believe just what I saw She said I betcha dont remember me And I said only every other memory
I had a bbq stain on my white t-shirt you were killing me in that mini skirt skippin rocks on the river by the railroad tracks You had a sun tan line and redlipstick I worked so hard for that first kiss and a heart dont forget somethin like that
like an old photogragh time can make a memory fade but the memory of a first love never fades away
I had a bbq stain on my white t-shirt you were killing me with that mini skirt skippin rocks on the river by the railroad tracks she had a sun tan line and redlipstick I worked so hard for that first kiss and a heart dont forget Nooo a heart dont forget i said a heart dont forget somethin like that ooh somethin' like that
