it was labor day weekend i was seventeen
i bought a coke and 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 sailors sky made a perfect sunset
and that’s the day i’ll never forget
i had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt
she was killing me in that miniskirt
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 southbound plane
i was headed down to new orleans
to meet some friends of mine for mardi gras
when i heard a voice from the past
coming 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 barbeque stain on my white tee shirt
she was killing me in that miniskirt
skipping rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
you had a suntan line and red lipstick
i worked so hard for that first kiss
and a heart don’t forget something 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 barbecue stain on my white tee shirt
she was killing me in that miniskirt
skipping 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
a heart dont forget no a heart dont forget
i said a heart dont forget something like that
oh not something like that
