I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it till my fingers bled
Was the summer of `69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
I should`ve known we`d never get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I`d always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life (hey)
Ain`t no use in complaininWhen you got a job to do
Spent my evenin`s down at the drive-in
And that`s when I met you! yeah
Standin` on your mama`s porch
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
(oh ya!)
Back in the summer of `69
(oh)
Man we were killin` time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin` can last forever - forever, no...
(yeah)
And now the times are changinLook at everything that`s come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six string
I think about you wonder what went wrong
Standin` on your mama`s porch
You told me that it`d last forever
and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life (oh yeah)
Back in the summer of `69 (uh huh)
It was the summer of 69 (oh yeah)
Me and my baby in 69
Oooh, hey
It was the summer
Summer, Summer of 69
Hey
