Summer of 69 Lyrics

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it till 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 joey 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
Yeah - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Ain't no use in complaining
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
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
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killining time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
And now the times are changing
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standing on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
The way 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
