• A Guy From Atlanta And A Girl From La from Atlanta GeorgiaThe first time I heard 23 I had to listen to it again.
  
  I didn't realize that I had lived this song.
  I met a girl in Hawaii. I was from Atlanta and she was from LA.
  We kept in touch, lived our lives, and fell in love.
  Five years after that I went to Los Angeles to see her, and it was an amazing two weeks. I was 23 years old. We went to Las Vegas for 4 days and did everything two people in love would do in Las Vegas.
  "I'd, Honestly Never Be 23 With Anyone else."
  Seven days later I would be 24 years old.
  "We had Las Vegas,
  Seal Beach, and
  The Boon Docks.
  
  Here's where the story turns into the song
  "Leaving on a Jet Plane."
  The day before I left Los Angeles I went to visit some relatives and they would take me to the airport the next afternoon.
  The night before my flight I called her and we made a lot of promises to one another we told one another we loved each other and said goodbye.
  The next day when walking up to the airport gate to board the plane, she was sitting amongst the passengers and was holding a teddy bear and weeping. I ran up to her, held her in my arms for what seemed like forever, kissed her, and told her that I loved her. I was so extatic that I got to see her one last time. We held hands until the second I walked into the jetway. I told her I would not let that amount of time pass before I saw her again . I kissed her one last time, then turned and boarded the plane.
  We kept in touch for several more years.
  But I never saw her again.
  (It's totally my fault and for that, I'm deeply sorry.)
  *I still have that teddy bear.*
  To think, three songwriters come up with a song out of thin air that, with a little interpretation was my life.
• Lisa Mckenzie Evoy from Johns Island, ScIf you look up the lyrics, the beach is spelled FOLLY. Many people mispronounce it FOLEY
• David Owen from Greenville ScI would just like to point out while a lot of people think Sam Hunt is talking about Folly Beach .... A famous Beach in Charleston South Carolina this is not the case. ANYONE who's been there would pronounce it correctly as it's spelled. He clearly says Foley Beach. Foley is a beach near mobile Alabama, which would make more sense since he also refers to New Orleans, and Delta nights. Assuming Delta means the vast area around The Mississippi River, this would make sense because Foley Beach Alabama is not that far off compared to FOlly Beach SC. Just thought I'd point that out.
