(track 9 - time 3:03) (rick ferrell/keith follese)
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 sailer's 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 Skippin' 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 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 barbeque stain on my white tee shirt You were killing me in that miniskirt Skippin' 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 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 A heart don't forget, no a heart don't forget I said a heart don't forget something like that Oh, not something like that
