Summer Of 69 lyrics
[Originally by Bryan Adams]
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 and Joey got married
I shoulda known, we d never get far
Oh, when I look back now
The 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 where i met you, girl
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, uh-huh
Yeah, we were killin time
We were young and restless, we needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever,
Forever, no
Yeah
And now the times are a-changin
Look at everything that s come and gone
Everytime when i play that old six-string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong
Standin on your mama s porch
(that s right)
you told me it would 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, uh-huh
Me and my baby had 69, oh yeah
Back in the summer of 69
