Band: Mxpx
Album: On The Cover
Song: Summer Of 69

I got my first real six-string
          Bought it at the five and dime
          Played it till 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 Joey 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
          Back in the summer of '69
          Ain't no use in complaining
          When you got a job to do
          Spent my evenings 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 killining time
          We were young and restless
          We needed to unwind
          I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
          And now the times are changing
          Look at everything that's come and gone
          Sometimes I play that old six-string
          I think about ya wonder what went wrong
          Standing on your mama's porch
          You told me it would last forever
          The way 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
