Verse 2  
  
Me and Becky Johnson ankle deep in ocean waves   
pants rolled up and hearts out on our sleeves  
both feelin' more than either one of us could say  
that first love let the sweetest memory  
Fifteen and shy I didn't tell a soul  
how is that Mama never has to be told  
  
Repeat Chorus  
  
Bridge  
  
Am                      D  
I wasn't home when Mama passed away  
  
Am  
I didn't get to say I love you  
D     E  
but I got this feelin'  
  
Repeat chorus (key change up one whole step)
