It was a hot afternoon
The last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming
I told Billy Ray
In his red Chevrolet
I needed time for some thinking
He was just passing by
When I caught that boy's eye
And I swore it was winking
I was thirty-one
He was seventeen
He knew nothing about love
I knew everything
But he sat right down
On the front porch swing
And I wondered what the
Coming night would bring
Sun closed my eyes
Climbed to the skies
It was starting to swelter
The sweat trickled down
The front of my gown
I thought it would melt me
I threw back my hair
Like he wasn't there
And I sipped, oooh
Something cooling
My shoulders bare
He tried not to stare
Whoa, but I knew I wasn't fooling
I looked deep into those eyes of blue
I said, boy, I know you're young
Don't know what to say or do
But stay with me 'til the sun goes away
And I will chase the boy in you away
Guess you know why
That kid caught my eyes
Oooh, and why the memory still lingers
Go back in my mind
To the very first time
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I felt the touch of somebody's fingers
I go back in my mind
To the very first time
Oh, I felt the touch of somebody's fingers
And go, I go back in my mind
To the very first time I felt
I go back in my mind
To the very first time
I felt the touch
Of somebody's fingers
The first time
The first time
