I got my first real six-string, bought it at the five-and-dime
Played 'til my fingers bled, it was 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, yeah 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 a 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
(Oh yeah) 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
-
Somethimes when I play that old 6-string, I think about you, wonder what went wrong
Standin on your mama's porch, you told me that itd 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
(Oh yeah) It was the summer of 69
(repeat all the way to the end)
