Lyrics

[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
