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 - forever no
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 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
