Something Like That

It was Labor Day weekend, I was seventeen

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 sailor sky made a perfect sunset

And that's the day I'll never forget

I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt

She was killing me in her mini-skirt

Skipping rocks on the river by the railroad track

She had a sun tan line and red lipstick

I worked so hard for that first kiss

Heart don't forget something like that

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

Coming from a few rows back

When I looked, I couldn't believe just what I saw

She said, "I bet you don't remember me"

I said, "Only every other memory"

I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt

You were killing me with that mini-skirt

Skipping rocks on the river by the railroad track

You had a sun tan line and red lipstick

I worked so hard for that first kiss

Heart don't forget something like that

Like an old photograph

Time can make her feel the pain

But the memory of the first love

Never fades away

I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt

She was killing me in her mini-skirt

Skipping rocks on the river by the railroad track

She had a sun tan line and red lipstick

I worked so hard for that first kiss

Heart don't forget

Heart don't forget

Heart don't forget something like that
