Lyric Summer Of 69

I got my first real six-string - bought it at the five and dime
Played it til my fingers bled - it was the summer of 69
Me and some guys from school - had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married - I shoulda known we d never get far
Oh when I look back now - That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice - ya - I d always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain t no use in complainin - when you got a job to do
Spent my evenin s down at the drive-in - and that s when I met you - ya
Standin on your mama s proch - you told me that you d wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand - I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life - back in the summer of 69

Man we were killin time - we were young and restless
We needed to unwind - I guess nothin can last forever - no
And now the times are changin
Look at everything that s come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin on your mama s porch - you told me it would last forever
Oh and when you held my hand - I knew that it was ow or never - ya
Those were the best days of my life - oh ya - back in the summer of 69
Ya - me and my baby in 69

It was the summer of 69
