Summer Of '69

I got my first real six-string

Bought it at the five-and-dime

Played it till my fingers bled

[02:51.50][03:09.50]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

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

[02:22.50]Standin' on your mama's porch

You told me that you'd wait forever

You told me that it'd last forever

[02:29.50]Oh and when you held my hand

[02:32.50]I knew that it was now or never

[02:36.50]Those were the best days of my life

[02:42.50][02:55.50]Oh yeah

[02:44.50]Back in the summer of '69

[02:49.50][03:03.50]Ohhh

Man we were killin' time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no

[03:17.50]Yeah

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

Me and my baby, '69
