Something Like That

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 sailor's sky made a perfect sunset

And that's a day I'll never forget

I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt

She was killing me in that mini skirt

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

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

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 barbecue stain on my white t-shirt

You were killing me in that mini skirt

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 the first love

Never fades away

I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt

She was killing me in that mini skirt

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, no

A heart don't forget

I said, a heart don't forget something like that

Oh, not something like that
