Summer Of '69

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
[02:51.50][03:09.50]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
[02:22.50]Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
You told me that it'd last forever
[02:29.50]Oh and when you held my hand
[02:32.50]I knew that it was now or never
[02:36.50]Those were the best days of my life
[02:42.50][02:55.50]Oh yeah
[02:44.50]Back in the summer of '69
[02:49.50][03:03.50]Ohhh
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
[03:17.50]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
Me and my baby, '69
