It was Labor Day
Weekend
I was seventeen
I bought a coke
And some gasoline
And 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 sailor's sky
Made a perfect
Sunset
And that's a day
I'll never forget
I had a
Barbecue stain
On my white
Tee shirt
She was killin' me
In that mini skirt
Skippin' rocks on
The river by the
Railroad tracks
She had a
Suntan line and
Red lipstick
I worked so hard
For that first
Kiss and a
Heart don't forget
Something
Like that
It was five years
Later on a
Southbound plane
I was headed down
To New Orleans
To meet some
Friends of mine
For Mardis Gras
When I heard
A voice
From the past
Comin' from
A few rows back
And when I looked
I couldn't believe
just what I saw
She said
I bet you don't
Remember me
And I said
Only every other
Memory
I had a
Barbecue stain
On my white
Tee shirt
You were killin' me
In that mini skirt
Skippin' rocks
On the river
By the railroad
Tracks
You had a
Suntan line and
Red lipstick
I worked so hard
For that first
Kiss and a
Heart don't forget
Something
Like that
Like an old
Photograph
Time can make
A feelin' fade
But the memory
Of the first love
Never fades away
I had a
Barbecue stain
On my white
Tee shirt
She was killin' me
In that mini skirt
Skippin' rocks
On the river
By the railroad
Tracks
She had a
Suntan line and
Red lipstick
I worked so hard
For that first
Kiss and a
Heart don't forget
No a heart
Don't forget
I said a heart
Don't forget
Something like that
No not something
Like that
