๐ Lyrics
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
It 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 should've known we'd never get far
Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evening down at the drive-in
And that's where I met you
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and you held my hand
I knew that it was or now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Oh yeah
Man, we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing 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 you, wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that it'd last forever
Oh, the way you held my hand
I knew that it was or now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Oh yeah
Bought it at the five and dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
It 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 should've known we'd never get far
Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evening down at the drive-in
And that's where I met you
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and you held my hand
I knew that it was or now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Oh yeah
Man, we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing 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 you, wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that it'd last forever
Oh, the way you held my hand
I knew that it was or now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Oh yeah
