[Verse 1: Alex Melton]
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: Alex Milton]
I had a barbecue stain on my white t-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: Ryan Scott Graham]
It was five years later on a southbound plane
I was headed down to New Orleans
To meet some friends of mine for the 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
And she said, 'I bet you don't remember me'
And I said, 'only every other memory'
[Chorus: Ryan Scott Graham]
I had a barbecue stain on my white t-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
[Bridge: Alex Melton]
Like an old photograph
Time can make a feeling fade
But the memory of a first love
Never fades away
[Outro Chorus: Alex Melton & Ryan Scott Graham]
I had a barbecue stain on my white t-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, no
A heart don’t forget
I said a heart don’t forget something like that
[Outro: Alex Melton]
Oh, not something like that
