| [00:04.50] |
I got my first real six-string |
| [00:07.50] |
Bought it at the five-and-dime |
| [00:11.50] |
Played it till my fingers bled |
| [00:14.50][02:51.50][03:09.50] |
It was the summer of '69 |
| [00:17.50] |
Me and some guys from school |
| [00:21.50] |
Had a band and we tried real hard |
| [00:24.50] |
Jimmy quit and Jody got married |
| [00:28.50] |
I shoulda known we'd never get far |
| [00:32.50] |
Oh when I look back now |
| [00:35.50] |
That summer seemed to last forever |
| [00:38.50] |
And if I had the choice |
| [00:42.50] |
Yeah - I'd always wanna be there |
| [00:45.50] |
Those were the best days of my life |
| [00:56.50] |
Ain't no use in complainin' |
| [00:59.50] |
When you got a job to do |
| [01:02.50] |
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in |
| [01:07.50] |
And that's when I met you |
| [01:09.50][02:22.50] |
Standin' on your mama's porch |
| [01:13.50] |
You told me that you'd wait forever |
| [02:25.50] |
You told me that it'd last forever |
| [01:16.50][02:29.50] |
Oh and when you held my hand |
| [01:20.50][02:32.50] |
I knew that it was now or never |
| [01:23.50][02:36.50] |
Those were the best days of my life |
| [01:29.50][02:42.50][02:55.50] |
Oh yeah |
| [01:32.50][02:44.50] |
Back in the summer of '69 |
| [01:36.50][02:49.50][03:03.50] |
Ohhh |
| [01:40.50] |
Man we were killin' time |
| [01:43.50] |
We were young and restless |
| [01:45.50] |
We needed to unwind |
| [01:48.50] |
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no |
| [01:57.50][03:17.50] |
Yeah |
| [02:09.50] |
And now the times are changin' |
| [02:12.50] |
Look at everything that's come and gone |
| [02:15.50] |
Sometimes when I play that old six-string |
| [02:19.50] |
I think about ya wonder what went wrong |
| [02:58.50] |
Me and my baby, '69 |
