Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it till my fingers bled
Was the Summer of '69
[Verse 2]
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
Should've known we'd never get far
[Verse 3]
But 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
[Verse 4]
Ain't no use in complaining
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah
[Verse 5]
Standing on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
And when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
[Verse 6]
Back in the Summer of '69
[Verse 7]
Man we we're killing time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever, forever
[Verse 8]
And now the times are changing
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play my old six string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong
[Verse 9]
Standing on your mama's porch
You told me it'd last forever
And when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
[Verse 10]
Back in the Summer of '69
[Verse 11]
It was the Summer of '69, oh yeah
[Verse 12]
Just me and my baby, yeah '69
[Verse 13]
It was the Summer, Summer, Summer of '69
It was the Summer of Love
