I remember the summer I turned sixteen
And that old jalopy Daddy gave to me
It had holes in the floor and just a 305
But I didn't care ˜cause I could finally drive
There wasn't much to do in my hometown
So every weekend night, we would all go down¦

Chorus:
There were freaks and hippies in my high school
Football players all tryin' to be cool
And everybody scramblin' to hide their beer
When the cops drove by ˜til the coast was clear
Kids fallin' in and out of love
On the hood of Chevys, in the beds of trucks
We were stumblin' our way through life ˜til our senior year
But man we sure did learn a lot
In that Wal-Mart parking lot

She had long blond hair and sea-green eyes
The most beautiful thing I'd ever seen in my life
But I was young and dumb and didn't have a line
And all I could say was, œCan I call ya' sometime??
She just said no and walked away
And 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 love
Got my ass kicked but I got back up
Lost my way, found it again
Had one long buzz and a dozen best friends
In that Wal-Mart parking lot
In that Wal-Mart parking lot
