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
