It Was Labour 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 Barbeque Stain On My White Tee-shirt,

And She Was Killin' 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.



It Was Five Years Later, On A Southbound Plane.

I Was Headin' 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,

And You Were Killin' 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 Tee Shirt

She Was Killin' 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, No A Heart Don't Forget

I Said A Heart Don't Forget Something Like That



Oh, Not Something Like That
