Summer of 69 : Bryan Adams
Here’s another oldie from Bryan Adams Summer of 69.
The “69” reference is often thought to be about the year, but it’s not about the year!
It’s about teen nostalgia, playing in a band and reflecting back on love in the summertime .
Written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance
Directed by Steve Barron
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
Ya – me and my baby in a 69
