|
I got my first real six-string
|
Bought it at the five-and-dime
|
Played it til 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 Jody 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
|
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
|
|
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 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
|
