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 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 Those were 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 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
Standin` on your mama`s porch You told me it would last forever Oh 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
