Summer Of `69 Lyrics

Summer Of `69 lyrics

I got my first real six-stringBought it at the five-and-dimePlayed it till my
fingers bledIt was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from schoolHad a band
and we tried real hardJimmy quit and Jody got marriedI shoulda known we'd never
get farOh when I look back nowThat summer seemed to last forever
And if I had
the choiceYa - 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 doSpent my
evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
Standin' on your
mama's porchYou told me that you'd wait foreverOh and when you held my handI
knew that it was now or neverThose were the best days of my life
Back in the
summer of '69
Man we were killin' timeWe were young and restlessWe needed to
unwindI guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no

And now the times
are changin'Look at everything that's come and goneSometimes when I play that
old six-stringI think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your
mama's porchYou told me it would last foreverOh the way you held my handI knew
that it was now or neverThose were the best days of my life
Back in the
summer of '69
