Lyrics: Summer Of '69 Live
I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
Me & some guys from school
Had a band & we tried real hard
Jimmy quit & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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
