I remember the summer i turned 16.
And that old jalapa 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

Yeah there were freaks and hippies in my high school.
Football players all trying to be cool.
And everybody scramblin' to hide their beer when the cops drove by, till the coast was clear.
Kids falling in a out of love on the hoods of chevys, in the beds of trucks.
We were stumbling our way through life till our senior year.
But man we sure did learn a lot in that wal mart parking lot.

She had long blonde hair and sea green eyes.

And that was the first time i felt my heart break.
