summer of 69

I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it til my fingers bled
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 wed never get far
But when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya Id always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Aint no use in complainin
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenins down at the drivein
And thats when I met you ya
Standin on your mamas porch
You told me that youd 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 yeah
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 changin
Look at everything thats come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six string
I think about yan wonder what went wrong
Standin on your mamas porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way 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
Uhhuh
It was the summer of 69
Oh yeah
Me and my baby in a 69
Oh oh
It was the summer summer summer of 69
