Summer Of '69 lyrics

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 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 Yeah, i'd always wanna be there Those were the best days of my life! Ain't no use in complaining When you got a job to do Spent my evening's down at the drive-in And that's when i met you, yeah Standing 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 killing time We were young and restless We 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 wonder what went wrong Standing on your mama's porch You told me that it'd 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! Back in the summer of '69 It was the summer of '69
