i got my first real six-sting
bought it at the five-and-dime
played it till my fingers bled
it was the summer of '69
me and some gus from school
had a band and we tried real hard
jimmy quit and jody got married
i shoulda known that 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
oh yeah
ain't no use in complaining
when you got a job to do
spent my evening's down at the drive-in
oh, that's when i met you,yeah
standing on your mama's porch
you told me that you'd wait forever ,oh
when you held my hand
i knew taht was now or never
those were the best days of my life
oh yeah
back in the summer of '69
ohhh
man we were killing time
we were young and restless
we needed to unwind
i guess nothing can last forever forever no,no
and now the times are changing
look at everything that's come and gone
sometimes when i play taht old six-string
i think about you wonder what went wrong
standing on your mama's porch
you told me that it last forever
oh 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
oh yeah
back in summer of '69
oh yeah
me and my baby in the '69
oh yeah
in the summer of '69
