I remember the summer I turned sixteen
And that old jalopy daddy gave to me
It had holes in the floor and just a 305
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.
Chorus:
There were freaks and hippies in my high school
Football players all tryin’ to be cool
And everbody scramblin’ to hide their beer
When the cops dove by ’til the coast was clear
Kids fallin in and out of love
On hoods of Chevys in beds of trucks
We were stumblin’ our way through senior year
But man we sure did learn alot
In that Walmart parking 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 is, «Can I call you sometime?»
She just said, «No» and walked away
And that was the first time I felt my heart break.
Chorus:
There were freaks and hippies in my high school
Football players all tryin’ to be cool
And everbody scramblin’ to hide their beer
When the cops dove by ’til the coast was clear
Kids fallin in and out of love
On hoods of Chevys in beds of trucks
We were stumblin’ our way through senior year
But man we sure did learn alot
In that Walmart parking lot.
Yeah, we did a lot of livin’
It was a small town teenage heaven.
Chorus:
There were freaks and hippies in my high school
Football players all tryin’ to be cool
And everbody scramblin’ to hide their beer
When the cops dove by ’til the coast was clear
Kids fallin in and out of love
On hoods of Chevys in beds of trucks
We were stumblin’ our way through senior year
But man we sure did learn alot
In that Walmart parking 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 buz and dozen best friends
In that Walmart parking lot.
In that Walmart parking lot…
