George Strait blastin' in the background
County fair big night in a small town
Barely fifteen my dad had to drop us off
Folded money tucked in my back pocket
Only goal was walking out with none of it
Our first date but I was already in love
With that August moon hangin' low in the sky
You reached out to touch it from the Ferris wheel ride
You didn't know but I was holding on for dear life
We went round and round till time stood still
When I think about it now I still get a thrill
We weren't meant for a lifetime
But it was love for a little while
Ice cream drippin' off a sugar cone
Out of money didn't want to go home
We snuck right in the door to the fun house
Trick mirrors laughin' at the sight of us
You were tall and skinny, I was short and buff
Makin' faces till' the ticket guy chased us out
With that August moon hanging low in the sky
I leaned in to kiss you under the arcade lights
You touched my hand and I felt like I could fly
We went round and round till time stood still
When I think about it now I still get a thrill
We weren't meant for a lifetime
But it was love for a little while
Then August left and September came
All we had were the memories
Of that very first date
With that August moon hanging low in the sky
I leaned in to kiss you under the arcade lights
Touched my hand and I felt like I could fly
We went round and round till time stood still
When I think about it now I still get a thrill
We weren't meant for a lifetime
But it was love for a little while
