Bowling For Soup Summer Of 69 Lyrics

Summer Of 69 Lyrics

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 and Jodi got married



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







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 where 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 Yeah



Back in the summer of '69



Ohoh







Yeah 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 that's come and gone



Anytime when I play that old six string



I think about you wonder what went wrong







Standin' on your mama's porch (that's right)



You told me that we'd last forever



Only 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
