Something Like That

Tim McGraw

It was Labor Day weekend I was seventeen
I bought a coke and some gasoline
And I drove out to the county fair
And 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 a sailor sky made a perfect sunset
And that's a day I'll never forget

I had a barbeque stain on my white t-shirt
She was killin' me in that miniskirt
Skippin' rocks by the river on 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 somethin' 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 Martigras
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 t-shirt
You was killin' me in that miniskirt
Skippin' rocks by the river on 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 somethin' like that

Like an old photograph
Time can makeup feelin' pain
But the memory of the first love
Never fades away

Chorus

Mmmm...somethin' like that
