Description

Summer of '69

i got my first real six-string
bought it at the five-and-dime
played it 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 shoulda known we'd never get far

oh 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

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

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 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
