Summer of '69 Lyrics

	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 we'd never get far
	Oh when I look back now
	That summer seemed to last forever
	And if I had the choice
	Yeah - I'd always wanna be there
	Those were the best days of my life
	Ain't no use in complainin'
	When you got a job to do
	Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
	And that's when I met you
	Standin' on your mama's porch
	You told me that you'd 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
	Oh yeah
	Back in the summer of '69
	Ohhh
	Man we were killin' time
	We were young and restless
	We needed to unwind
	I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
	Yeah
	And now the times are changin'
	Look at everything that's come and gone
	Sometimes when I play that old six-string
	I think about ya wonder what went wrong
	Standin' on your mama's porch
	You told me that it'd last forever
	Oh and 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 summer of '69
	Ohhh
	It was the summer of '69
	Oh yeah
	Me and my baby, '69
