Some Things Like That

Some Things Like That
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 standin' there in the ticket line
And it all started right then and there
Oh the sailor sky made a perfect sunset
And that's a day i'll never forget

I had a barbecue 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 plane
I was headed down to new orleans
To meet some friends of mine for a mardi gras
When i heard a voice from the past
Comin' 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 barbecue stain on my white t-shirt
You were killing me in that mini skirt
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 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
No a heart don't forget

I said a heart don't forget something like that
No not something like that
