I REMEMBER
THE SUMMER
I TURNED SIXTEEN
AND THAT OLD JALOPY
DADDY GAVE TO ME
IT HAD HOLES
IN THE FLOOR
AND JUST A THREE-O-FIVE
BUT I DIDN'T CARE
'CAUSE I COULD FINALLY
DRIVE
THERE WASN'T
MUCH TO DO
IN MY HOMETOWN
SO EVERY
WEEKEND NIGHT
WE WOULD ALL GO DOWN
THERE WERE
FREAKS AND HIPPIES
IN MY HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL PLAYERS
ALL TRYIN' TO BE COOL
AND EVERYBODY
SCRAMBLIN'
TO HIDE THEIR BEER
WHEN THE COPS
DROVE BY 'TIL THE COAST
WAS CLEAR
KIDS FALLIN'
IN AND OUT OF LOVE ON
THE HOODS OF CHEVYS
IN THE BEDS OF TRUCKS
WE WERE STUMBLIN'
OUR WAY THROUGH LIFE
'TIL OUR SENIOR YEAR
BUT MAN WE SURE DID
LEARN A LOT
IN THAT WAL-MART
PARKIN' LOT
SHE HAD
LONG BLONDE HAIR
AND SEA-GREEN EYES
THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL THING
I'D EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE
BUT I WAS
YOUNG AND DUMB
AND DIDN'T HAVE A LINE
AND ALL I COULD SAY
WAS CAN I CALL YA'
SOMETIME
SHE JUST SAID NO
AND WALKED AWAY
AND THAT WAS
THE FIRST TIME I FELT
MY HEART BREAK
THERE WERE FREAKS
AND HIPPIES
IN MY HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL PLAYERS
ALL TRYIN' TO BE COOL
AND EVERYBODY
SCRAMBLIN'
TO HIDE THEIR BEER
WHEN THE COPS
DROVE BY 'TIL THE COAST
WAS CLEAR
KIDS FALLIN'
IN AND OUT OF LOVE ON
THE HOODS OF CHEVYS
IN THE BEDS OF TRUCKS
WE WERE STUMBLIN'
OUR WAY THROUGH LIFE
'TIL OUR SENIOR YEAR
BUT MAN WE SURE DID
LEARN A LOT
IN THAT WAL-MART
PARKIN' LOT
IN THAT WAL-MART
PARKIN' LOT
WELL I HAD
MY FIRST KISS
MY FIRST LOVE
GOT MY ASS KICKED
BUT I GOT BACK UP
LOST MY WAY
FOUND IT AGAIN
HAD ONE LONG BUZZ
AND A DOZEN
BEST FRIENDS
OH OOH WHOA
IN THAT WAL-MART
PARKIN' LOT
