Summer of '69

I got my first real six string brought it at the five and dime
Played it till my fingers bled 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 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 complaining when ya gotta job to do
Spent my evening down at the drive in and that's when I met you ya
Standing on your mamma's porch you told me that you'd wait forever
And when I held your 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 reckless we needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever
And now the rimes are changing
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play my old six string
I think about you wonder what went wrong
Standing on your mamma's porch you told me that you'd wait forever
And when I held your hand I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life back in the summer of 69
