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
Shoulda known we'd never get far
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah
[Chorus]
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
Oh yeah, back in the summer of 69
[Bridge]
Man, we were killin' time, we were young and restless
We needed to unwind, I guess nothing can last forever, forever, no
[Verse 4]
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
Think about you, wonder what went wrong
[Chorus]
Standin' on your mama's porch, you told me that it'd 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
Oh yeah, back in the summer of 69
[Outro]
It was the summer of 69, oh yeah
Just me and my baby in a 69
Oh
It was the summer
Sweet, sweet summertime
Come on
It was the summer of 69
