INTRO 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. Ohh a sailor sky made a perfect sunset, And that's a day I'll never forget. I had a bbq 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. Verse 2 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". *REPEAT CHORUS * INSTRUMENTAL Like an old photograph time can make a feeling fade, But the memory of the first love never fades away. *REPEAT CHORUS *
