Summer Of '69

Got my first real six-string
 Bought it at the five-and-dime
 Played it 'til my fingers bled
 Was the summer of '69
 Me and some guys from school
 Had a band and we tried real hard
 Jimmy quit and Joey got married
 I shoulda known, we'd never get far
 Oh, when I look back now
 The 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 where I met you, girl
 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, uh-huh
 Yeah, we were killin time
 We were young and restless, we needed to unwind
 I guess nothing can last forever
 Forever, no
 Yeah
 ♪
 And now the times are a-changin
 Look at everything that's come and gone
 Everytime when I play that old six-string
 I think about you, wonder what went wrong
 Standin' on your mama's porch
 (That's right)
 You told me it would 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
 Oh yeah
 Back in the summer of '69, uh-huh
 Me and my baby had 69, oh yeah
 Back in the summer of '69
