Summer of ’69: [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Me and some guys from school Had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit, Jody got married Should've known we'd never get far [Chorus] Oh, when I look back now That 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 Hey! [Verse 3] Ain't no use in complainin' When you got a job to do Spent my evenings down at the drive-in And that's when I met you, yeah [Chorus] 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 [Refrain] Oh, yeah Back in the summer of '69, ohh [Bridge] Man, we were killin' time We were young and restless We needed to unwind I guess nothing can last forever Forever, no! Yeah! [Verse 4] And now the times are changin' Look at everything that's come and gone Sometimes, when I play that old six-string Think about you, wonder what went wrong [Chorus] Standin' on your mama's porch You told me that 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 [Outro] Oh, yeah Back in the summer of '69, uh-huh It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah Me and my baby in a '69, ohh, ho! It was the summer, summer, summer of '69 Yeah
