Something Like That Lyrics
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's 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 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
It was five years later on a southbound plane
I was headin' down to New Orleans
To meet some friends of mine for the 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 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
Like an old photograph, time can make a feeling fade
But the memory of the first love never fades away
I had a barbeque 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
No, a heart don't forget
I said, a heart don't forget something like that
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's sky made a perfect sunset
And that's a day I'll never forget
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
I was headin' down to New Orleans
To meet some friends of mine for the 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."
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
But the memory of the first love never fades away
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
No, a heart don't forget
I said, a heart don't forget something like that

this song is def bout a girl he met one day and he was positive it was love @ first, and i believe it was his first love and thats y he remebers her later in life, because she made such an impression in his life, and he obviosuly remebers the good old days chillin w/ her and how wonderful she looked, i think hes tryin to tell the listener that ur heart doesn't forget true love even if ur mind wants to, because love conquers all
sigh this was one of the first Tim McGraw songs I ever heard...way back in 6th grade. I remember then my friend and I used to make fun of it, b/c it was (gasp GOD FORBID!) country music, but secretly I liked it. I didn't want to tell her this or she would be making fun of me instead of the song. 5 years later and Im going to a Tim McGraw concert in less than a month! mwa ha ha.
oh, if this song isnt just perfect. i met my first love at the county fair. this song makes me think of him and i always cry a little when i hear it. i can never forget him. love really does conquer all...
this is what makes me love country music.
i agree, this is why i love country music as well. growing up in iowa, i can appreciate this. we would drive around in big-hick trucks with the windows down, blaring songs like this one. it was amazing.
I love this song. some people think its called "bbq stain". dunno why. But,i love tim mcgraw. i agree with muntimus. :D
haha yea im in 8th grade and i listen to mostly rap and hip hop but country to and my friends give me so much shit for it but its what friends are for; but this song kicks ass
Hmmm..This song makes me feel nostalgic. It's amazing how we never forget that "one love."
No matter how much we'd like our minds to forget that one person, our heart never seems to give us that ability to forget. :) I kind of like it....
This is one of his best in my opinion. It reminds me of when I was a kid, driving out to my Dad's in the country and he'd play Tim McGraw and teach my little sisters and I the words to all his songs. This song is so sweet I think pretty much everyone rremembers 17 as being one of the best years of your life and the innocence of first love. That was only last year for me but I still miss it. Can't wait to see Tim later this year when he comes Down Under to Oz!! Hooray!!!
Like an old photograph, time can make a feeling fade But the memory of the first love never fades away
Probably the best lyrics of that song. Now in the song, it seems that he's remembering a past love fondly, and while my ex was basically a b****, that feeling of love itself I had for her is what makes me happy when I think about that time in my life.
