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 Joey 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 Back in the summer of '69 Ain't no use in complaining When you got a job to do Spent my evenings 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 Back in the summer of '69 Man we were killining time We were young and restless We needed to unwind I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no And now the times are changing Look at everything that's come and gone Sometimes I play that old six-string I think about ya wonder what went wrong Standing on your mama's porch You told me it would last forever The way 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 Adams Bryan Lyrics Summer Of '69 Lyrics
