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 the day I'll never forget I had a barbecue stain on my white t-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 barbecue stain on my white t-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 the first love Never fades away I had a barbecue stain on my white t-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 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
