Place In The Sun Lyrics - 1999

[ Buy Place In The Sun ]

(track 9 - time 3:03)
(rick ferrell/keith follese)

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
I said a heart don
Oh, not something like that
