| [00:05.18] |
I got my first real six-string |
| [00:08.09] |
Bought it at the five-and-dime |
| [00:11.72] |
Played it till my fingers bled |
| [00:14.92] |
It was the summer of '69 |
| [00:18.75] |
Me and some guys from school |
| [00:21.94] |
Had a band and we tried real hard |
| [00:25.39] |
Jimmy quit and Jody got married |
| [00:28.71] |
I shoulda known we'd never get far |
| [00:33.33] |
Oh when I look back now |
| [00:35.85] |
That summer seemed to last forever |
| [00:38.98] |
And if I had the choice |
| [00:42.94] |
Ya - I'd always wanna be there |
| [00:46.38] |
Those were the best days of my life |
| [00:49.93] |
|
| [00:57.28] |
Ain't no use in complainin' |
| [01:00.19] |
When you got a job to do |
| [01:03.25] |
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in |
| [01:07.09] |
And that's when I met you |
| [01:10.68] |
Standin' on your mama's porch |
| [01:13.81] |
You told me that you'd wait forever |
| [01:17.50] |
Oh and when you held my hand |
| [01:20.68] |
I knew that it was now or never |
| [01:24.46] |
Those were the best days of my life |
| [01:29.59] |
|
| [01:32.85] |
Back in the summer of '69 |
| [01:41.79] |
Man we were killin' time |
| [01:44.07] |
We were young and restless |
| [01:46.21] |
We needed to unwind |
| [01:49.11] |
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no |
| [02:09.47] |
And now the times are changin' |
| [02:12.57] |
Look at everything that's come and gone |
| [02:16.01] |
Sometimes when I play that old six-string |
| [02:19.35] |
I think about ya wonder what went wrong |
| [02:23.16] |
Standin' on your mama's porch |
| [02:26.40] |
You told me it would last forever |
| [02:30.34] |
Oh the way you held my hand |
| [02:33.26] |
I knew that it was now or never |
| [02:37.02] |
Those were the best days of my life |
| [02:45.77] |
Back in the summer of '69 |
