Summer of 69

I got my first real six string, bought it at a five and dime
Played it till my fingers bled, was the summer of 69
Me and some guys from school,
formed a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
Should've known we never get far

Oh when I look back now, that summer seem 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 complaining, when you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive in,
and that's when I met you
Standing on your mama's porch, you told me you'd wait forever
And when I held your hand, I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
It was the summer of 69

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play my old six string
I think about you wonder what went wrong

Standing on your mama's porch, you told me it'd last forever
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
