I got my first real six-string
|
Bought it at the five-and-dime
|
Played it till my fingers bled
|
It was summer of '69
|
Me and some guys from school
|
We had a band and we tried real hard
|
But Jimmy quit and Joey got married
|
I 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 evenings at the drive-in
|
And that's when 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 summer of '69
|
|
Man, we were killin' time
|
We were young and restless
|
We needed to unwind
|
I guess nothin' can last forever
|
Forever, yeah
|
|
Standin' on your mama's porch
|
You told me that it'd 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
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah
|
Back in the summer of '69
|
'69
|
(Back in the summer of '69)
|
('69)
|
It was the summer of '69
