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 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 killin' me in that mini-skirt
                                             
Skippin' 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

                                 
Well it was five years later on a southbound plane
      
I was headin' down to New Orleans
                                         
To meet some friends of mine for 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 ev'ry other memory"

                                  
I had a barbecue stain on my white T-shirt
                          
You were killin' me in that mini-skirt
                                            
Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
                        
You had a suntan line and red lipstick
                           
I worked so hard for that first kiss and a
                            
Heart don't forget something like that

Instrumental:                    
                                 
                              
Like an old photograph time can make a feeling fade
                               
But the mem'ry of the first love never fades away

(Note:  Do two quick strums for the next six chords)
                            
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 suntan line and red lipstick
                          
I worked so hard for that first kiss and a
            
Heart don't forget
N..              
No, a heart don't forget
                                      
I said, a heart don't forget something like that
                             
            Oh, not something like that
