Testo Summer Of 69

I got my first real six-string, bought it at the five and dime, Played it till my fingers bled, was the summer of '69. Me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard. Jimmy quit, Jody got married, I should a know 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 yeah. Standing 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. Back in the summer of '69. Man were killin' time, we were young and restless, we needed to unwind, I guess nothing can last forever, forever. And now the times are changing, look at everything that's come and gone. Sometimes when I play that old six-string, I think about you, wonder what went wrong. Standing on your mama's porch you told me that it lasts 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. Oho. It was the summer of '69. O weah.
