you've got everybody on your side
Anyone can see if you hang around with me
you'll be by yourself on friday night
CHORUS
It's hard to understand
If you never lose you never learn to want to win
When it all comes down
all around you now
Don't let it bring you down
You had all the moves you had all the coolest doos
and you always had the coolest car
I never learned to dance, I had hair down to my ass
and now I'm gonna be a Rock Star
Raise your hands
Stomp your feet
I love everyone and now they love me
I can here her calling out .
I've got so much I can tell her
She knows I miss her,
I know she thinks about me too.
I can just cannot wait to kiss her
Bridge:
On the boulevard we danced
I tell her if I get the chance
Just what all this means to me.
Maybe I should say we can run away
Never look back
Never doubt it.
CHORUS
You don't owe me anything
I owe everything to you
Take my hand and
Hold on.
I think she likes me
I can see it when she laughs
She won't say it but I see it
Loves to wake me
Just to see if I'm asleep
Or just to tell me to more closer
Even when I didn't want to
You used to like to watch us play downtown
As long as I sang a song for you
CHORUS
But nothing stays the same
And it's drivin' me insane
Oh, you know we've got it so bad
And nothing you can say
Can make me want to stay
But still you're hangin' on
You say you never saw this comin'
So why does it always fall on you
I think you call me every time you see a phone
You hang but I know its you
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 Jody got married
Shoulda know we'd never get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yer- 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 weekends down at the drive-in
And that's where I met you
Standin' on your mamma'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 where 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 time are changin'
Lokk at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya and wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mamma's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days or my life
Back in the summer of '69
I never took the time to notice
That I was always wrong and you weren't
You were the one who gave up so many things
Took you for granted
But you understanded
It was just a phase
Bridge:
And I've got a new direction
A blueprint for erection of new life
It's such a simple situation
Some kind of masturbation
With a new twist
I don't know why
CHORUS
I've got it all figured out
We can make it
And I'll never let you down
Just take my hand
And understand
There's a lot of tomorrows
I let you down
You had no complaints
Watched as the world went spinn'
Around without you
You waited for me
You wanted diamonds
I came up with rollerblades
Shot down again but you smiled
And shook your head
And knew that I had changed
