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, Jody got married
I should've known we'd never get far
[Verse 3]
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 4]
Ain't no use in complaining
When you got a job to do
Spent my evening down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah
Standing on your mama's porch
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of '69, oh
[Verse 7]
Man, we were killing time, we were young and reckless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever, forever, no
[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 where I went wrong
[Verse 9]
Standing on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd 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
[Verse 10]
Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of '69, oh
It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah
Me and my baby in '69
Oh
It was the summer, the summer, the summer of '69
[Verse 11]
It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah
Back in the summer of '69, oh
It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah
Just me and my baby in '69
[Verse 12]
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
It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah
[Verse 13]
It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah
It was the summer of '69
