Back Story
I wanted to write a fresh song about that timeless topic, your first time, we all had that once (I hope :) I also wanted to write a song where every line was loaded with detail (emotional & visual), and what better setting than an amusement park, or in this case, a State Fair? I thought that was the perfect setting because first love is like that - so intense on all your senses - you never forget it.

Listen To Song: Hi-Fi Lo-Fi

JENNY WILDE
(Written by: Kent Forward)

VERSE:
COASTER LINE AT THE STATE FAIR
SHE WAS FIDDLIN’ WITH HER HAIR
IN CUT-OFFS, HELD A BLUE BEAR
I LONGED TO BE THAT PRIZE
I CHOKED ON A CORN CHIP
WHEN HER PINK BUBBLE GUM LIPS
POPPED A BUBBLE AND SAID THIS
“DO YOU WANNA CUT IN LINE?”

LIFT:
SHOT A WINK AS WE CLIMBED IN THE BACK
SHE GRABBED MY HAND AND MY HEART JUMPED THE TRACKS

CHORUS 1:
LIKE A TILT-A-WHIRL OR GRAVITY DROP
SLAM BAM BOOM MY WORLD WAS ROCKED
ANGEL WITH A DEVILISH SMILE
HER KISS EXPLODIN’ LIKE A CHERRY BOMB FREEZE
HOT AS THE SUN CRACKED COASTER SEAT
I’LL NEVER FORGET THAT SUMMER RIDE IN THE ARMS OF JENNY WILDE

VERSE:
WE’D TELL OUR FOLKS A WHITE LIE
MEET DOWN WHERE THE LAKE’S DRY
SHE TAUGHT ME THINGS THAT JULY
I NEVER LEARNED IN SCHOOL
ON THE HOTTEST DAY IN AUGUST
IN MY CHEVY WE PROMISED
TO ALWAYS GO FOR WHAT WE WANTED
THEN WE LOST ALL OUR COOL

LIFT:
WE WEREN’T THINKING ‘BOUT WRONG OR RIGHT
JUST KNEW WHAT WE WERE DOING SURE FELT OUTTA SIGHT

CHORUS 2: (Replace "COASTER SEAT" with "CHEVY SEAT")

BRIDGE:
THAT FIRST LOVE FADES LIKE MIDWAY LIGHTS
BUT THE MEMORIES RIDE WITH YOU THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

CHORUS 3: (Replace "COASTER SEAT" with "MEMORIES")
