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, Jody got married
I should've known we'd never get far
But 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
Hey, ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
I spent my evening's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah
Standing 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
Oooh
Man, 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
Sometimes, when I play that old six string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong
Standing 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
Oh yeah, back in the summer of '69
Huh huh
It was the summer of '69, oh yeah
Me and my baby in '69
Oooh, hey
It was the summer
The summer, the summer of '69
Hey
