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.
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".
Like an old photograph time can make a feeling fade,
But the memory of the first love never fades away.
