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
That’s a day I’ll 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 couldn’t believe just what I saw
She said I betcha don’t 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 don’t forget
i said a heart don’t forget
somethin’ like that
ooh somethin’ like that
