I got my first real six-stringBought it at the five-and-dimePlayed it till my fingers bledIt was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from schoolHad a band and we tried real hardJimmy quit and Jody got marriedI shoulda known we'd never get farOh when I look back nowThat summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choiceYa - 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 doSpent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
Standin' on your mama's porchYou told me that you'd wait foreverOh and when you held my handI knew that it was now or neverThose were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killin' timeWe were young and restlessWe needed to unwindI guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
And now the times are changin'Look at everything that's come and goneSometimes when I play that old six-stringI think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porchYou told me it would last foreverOh the way you held my handI knew that it was now or neverThose were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
More Summer of '69
