I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled

It was the summer of 69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard

Jimmy quit and jody got married

I shoulda known wed never get far

Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever

And if I had the choice

Ya - Id always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

Aint no use in complainin

When you got a job to do

Spent my evenins down at the drive-in

And thats when I met you

Standin on your mamas porch

You told me that youd 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

Back in the summer of 69

Man we were killin time
We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothin can last forever - forever, no

And now the times are changin
Look at everything thats come and gone

Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin on your mamas porch

You told me it would 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

Back in the summer of 69
