summer 69 |
I got my first real six string, bought it at the five and dime,
played it till my fingers bled, was the summer of sixty-nine.
Me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard.
Jimmy quit and Jody got married, I shoulda known we�d never get far.
But when I look back now, that summer seemed 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 complainin� when you got a job to do,
spent my evenin�s down at the drive-in and that�s when I met you, ya.
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...
...Back in the summer...
...Man, we were killin� time, we were young and restless,
we needed to unwind, I guess nothin� can last forever...no.
And now the times are changin�, look at everything that�s come
and gone. Sometimes when I play that old six string I think about ya �n wonder what went wrong...
