I remember the summer I turned sixteenAnd that old jalopy Daddy gave to meIt had holes in the floor and just a 305But I didn't care 'cause I could finally driveThere wasn't much to do in my hometownSo every weekend night, we would all go down:[Chorus:]There were freaks and hippies in my high schoolFootball players all tryin' to be coolAnd everybody scramblin' to hide their beerWhen the cops drove by 'til the coast was clearKids fallin' in and out of loveOn the hood of Chevys, in the beds of trucksWe were stumblin' our way through life 'til our senior yearBut man we sure did learn a lotIn that Wal-Mart parking lotShe had long blond hair and sea-green eyesThe most beautiful thing I'd ever seen in my lifeBut I was young and dumb and didn't have a lineAnd all I could say was, "Can I call ya' sometime?"She just said no and walked awayAnd that was the first time I felt my heart break[Repeat Chorus]Yeah, we all did a lot of livin'It was small-town teenage heaven[Repeat Chorus]Well I had my first kiss, my first loveGot my $$# kicked but I got back upLost my way, found it againHad one long buzz and a dozen best friendsIn that Wal-Mart parking lotIn that Wal-Mart parking lot
