It was Labor Day weekend, I was seventeen I bought a Coke and a 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 And 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 BBQ stain on my white T-shirt She was k**ing me in that mini-skirt Skipping 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 Well, it was five years later on a south bound plane I was headed down to New Orleans To meet some friends of mine for the Mardi 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 BBQ stain on my white T-shirt You were k**ing me in that mini-skirt Skipping rocks on the river railroad tracks You had a suntan line and red lipstick I worked so hard for that first kiss And a heart don't forget somethin' like that Like an old photograph, time can make a feeling fade But the memory of a first love never fades away I had a BBQ stain on my white t-shirt She was k**ing me in that mini-skirt Skipping 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, somethin' like that Oh no, not somethin' like that
