Bowling For Soup Sumer Of `69 Lyrics

Sumer Of `69 Lyrics

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 we'd never get far 

But
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 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 killin' time

We were young and
restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothin' can last forever -
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'n wonder what went wrong



Standin' on
your mama's 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



Back in the summer of '69
