Artist: Tim McGraw

Song: Something Like That

From: hamptons.guestofaguest.com

Back in the day when gasoline was under $1 a gallon, I, like Tim, went to the county fair. And though I didn't find my first love, I always think of those innocent highschool summers whenever I hear this song. I know the song is set on Labor Day weekend, but the 4th of July sophmore year of highschool sticks out in particular for me. For all of you that care to reminiscence on your days of yore, your first love, and some BBQ stains on your white t-shirts, join in. Otherwise, continue making fun of me like most people do when they realize I know the entire lyrics (found below) to this tune:

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 sailer’s sky made a perfect sunset
And that’s the day I’ll never forget

I had a barbeque 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 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 headed 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 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 suntan 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
