It was Labor Day weekend I was seventeen
BbI bought a Coke and some gasoline
F Eb Bb CAnd I drove out to the county fair
When I saw her for the first time
BbShe was standing there in the ticket line
F Eb BbAnd it all started right then and there
Oh a sailor sky made a perfect sunset
Dm CAnd that's a day I'll never forget
F C
I had a barbecue stain on my white T-shirt
Bb CShe was killin' me in that mini-skirt
Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
C F CShe had a suntan line and red lipstick
Gm Am Bb CI 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
BbI was headin' down to New Orleans
F Eb Bb CTo meet some friends of mine for Mardi Gras
When I heard a voice from the past
BbComin' from a few rows back
F Eb BbAnd when I looked I couldn't believe just what I saw
C Bb C
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
Bb CYou were killin' me in that mini-skirt
F C Dm C BbSkippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
You had a suntan line and red lipstick
Gm Am B CI worked so hard for that first kiss and a
Dm C Bb C FHeart don't forget something like that
Instrumental: F Eb Bb Dm C
F Eb Bb Dm CLike an old photograph time can make a feeling fade
Bb CBut the mem'ry of the first love never fades away
