Summer of 69

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

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.
