Lyrics Overview - 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.
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Like an old photograph
Time can make a feeling fade
But
the memory of a first love
Never fades away
[Chorus]
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 don’t forget, no a heart don’t forget
I said
a heart don’t forget something like that
Oh, not something like that
