I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the Five and Dime
Played it 'till my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
We had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
Should've known we'd never get far
Oh but when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the chance
You know I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
And though you sit complaining
When you got a job to do
I spent my nights at the Drive-In
And that's where I met you
Standin' on your momma's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh but when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Whoa yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Oh yeah
Man we were killing time
We were young and restless
And needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever
Forever, no
And now the times are changing
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you-What in the world went wrong?
Standin' on your momma's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Whoa oh
Back in the summer of '69
Oh yeah
Summer
Summer of '69
Summer of '69
