My wife and I passed through the small town where I grew up, as we stopped to visit a longtime friend I've known since the first grade. As we drove away, I shared with my wife that I had a crush on this girl in the 2nd grade; that she was smart and really pretty. I laughed as I remembered being jealous of Elvis because she thought he was cool. As we drove away, I drew on thoughts of my wife and me visiting Panama City Beach, back before the advent of cell phones, and that it's ironic how my past lead me to her...

1ST VERSE:
It was early in life,
When I started to fall,
Second grade, best I recall
I got those butterflies,
Every day when I,
Saw her at school.
2ND VERSE:
Jenny thought I was funny,
And I loved her laugh,
She was the prettiest girl in my class,
And I remember,
Being jealous of Elvis,
Cause she thought he was cool.
BRIDGE:
And of the memories,
That fill my past,
Some I remember,
More than the rest,
Those related,
To girls I dated,
I remember best.
CHORUS
Here on the Beach in Panama,
Don’t have my cell phone,
Nobody can call,
Feeling this good,
Can’t be right,
Alone with her,
All-day and all night,
I know it’s twisted,
I shouldn’t compare,
But, as I think about,
How I got here,
Because of her,
I remember them all,
Here on the beach in Panama.
3RD VERSE:
There was Helen in High School,
Carol in college,
A girl from Miami,
With an incredible body,
A few introduced by my good friends,
Bud & Jack,
4th VERSE:
I almost got married,
To a girl with two kids,
I swear I loved them,
Just as much as she did,
Sometimes I get sad,
I’m not a dad,
Hope there’s still time for that.
