Summer of 69

I got my first real six-string

Thought it was a five-ten dime

Played it 'til my fingers bled

Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from the school

Had a band and we tried real hard

Him and Quet and Yoddy got married

Sure we know we'll never get far

Oh, when I look back now, this love will seem to last forever

And if I had a choice, yeah, I'd always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

And all you've seen complaining when you've got a job to do

Spent my evening down on the driving

And that's when I met you, yeah

Standing on your mama's porch

You told me to wait forever

Oh, 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 summit of '69

Man, we were killing time

We were young and reckless

We need to unwind

I guess nothing could last forever

Forever

And now the times are changing

Look at everything that's gone and gone

Sometimes when I play that old street string

Think of how you wondered what went wrong

Standing on your mama's porch

You told me that it'd last forever

Oh, when you held my hand

I knew that it would not never

Those were the best days of my life

Oh, yeah

Back in the summer of '69

Ooh, it was the summer of '69

Oh yeah, it was the summer of '69

Oh yeah, '69

Oh, the sweet, sweet summertime

Oh yeah, it was the summer of '69

69, oh, 69
