Verse
I remember the summer I turned sixteen, and that old jalopy daddy gave to me
it had holes in the floor and just a 305, but I didn't care 'cause I could finally drive
there wasn't much to do in my hometown, so every weekend night, we would all go down
there were freaks and hippies in my high school, football players all tyrin' to be cool
and everybody scramblin' to hide their beer, when the cops drove by 'til the coast was clear
kids fallin' in and out of love, on the hoods of chevys, in the beds of trucks
we were stumblin' our way through life 'til our senior year,
but man we sure did learn a lot, in that wal-mart parking lot
Verse 2
she had long blonde hair and sea-green eyes, the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen in my life
but I was young and dumb and didn't have a line, and all I could say was, "Can I call ya' sometime?"
she just said no and walked away, and that was the first time I felt my heart break
Repeat Chorus
yeah we did a lot of living, it was small-town teenage heaven
Repeat Chorus
well I had my first kiss, my first love, got my ass kicked but I got back up
lost my way, found it again, had one long buzz and a dozen best friends
in the wal-mart parking lot, in that wal-mart parking lot
