Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
I shoulca known we'd never get far

Oh, when I look back now
The 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
I spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you

Standing on your momma'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

Oh yeah...back in the summer of '69

Man we were killing time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing could last forever
Forever...no

And not the times are changing
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
Think about you wonder what went wrong

Standing on your momma's porch
You told me 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

Oh yeah...back in the summer of '69
Uh huh...it was the summer of '69
Oh yeah...me and my baby in '69
It was the summer, summer, summer of '69
