BBQ

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
O a sailor's sky made a perfect sunset
And thats the day i'll never forget
{chorus)
I had a BBQ stain on my white T-shirt
She was killing me in that mini skirt
Skippin 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
And a heart don't forget something like that

Well it was five years later
On a south-bound train
I was headed down to new orleans to meet
some friends of mine for the marty graw
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

I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt
You were killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
You had a sun tan 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 a first love
Never fades away

I had a barbecue stain on my white tee shirt
She was killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin 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
